Available at FanDuel. Even without being super high on Adam Wainwright, my model has the Cardinals' win odds at 47.8%, up from 44.3% implied. Wainwright has struggled both in his rehab stint and his two starts in the majors. As a result, I'm not super high on him entering this game, and I am high on Urias on the other side. It just seems like the market may be overselling both of those aspects. I still have the Dodgers as the team more likely to win, but I'm fine taking the discount at +126.
