Thu Apr 17 22:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Local Sports Gambler Bets Big on Mets-Cardinals Matchup
**New York, NY – April 17, 2024** – A local sports bettor is making a bold three-leg same-game parlay bet for tonight’s Mets vs. Cardinals game at Citi Field. The bet, which combines a no-run-first-inning (NRFI) wager, a Juan Soto total bases over bet, and an under on Griffin Canning’s strikeouts, is based on a detailed analysis of the teams’ recent performance.
The bettor cites the strong early-inning pitching of both starting pitchers, Griffin Canning for the Cardinals and Andre Pallante for the Mets, and the Cardinals’ historically weak first-inning offense as reasons for the NRFI bet. Despite Soto’s slow start to the season, the bettor is confident in his ability to get at least one hit against the Cardinals’ pitching staff, noting Soto’s past success against St. Louis.
The final leg of the parlay is an under on Canning’s strikeouts. The bettor argues that the Cardinals’ lineup is currently strong and avoids strikeouts, making it unlikely Canning will accumulate a high number of Ks. This is particularly relevant considering Canning’s performance in his previous starts.
The game starts at 7:10 p.m. ET. The outcome of this high-stakes parlay remains to be seen.
