Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

St. Louis Cardinals plus-101 at San Francisco Giants: $300 to win $303

Tonight is a huge spot for the Cardinals, who are trying to avoid going back to St. Louis in a 3-1 hole. While I’d prefer to see the Giants take that commanding lead I don’t think it’s going to happen.

The Cardinals have won five of Shelby Miller’s last six starts, including the deciding NLDS Game 4 when Matt Adams broke Clayton Kershaw. That was one of five one-run games St. Louis has played this postseason, including the last two games against the Giants. It feels to me like the Cardinals are poised for a blowout victory and I think it comes tonight.

Standings: Bern (47-43-1, $10,651), Keefer (45-49, $10,061), Brewer (43-48-3, $6,105)
