Anthony Molina and Matthew Liberatore's struggles make over 8 runs the play for Giants-Cardinals

Like so many sluggers in the big leagues, I took a swing for some big scores yesterday, and I struck out.

Looking to hit a bomb and get a big score is not always a bad strategy, but it proved to be a bad one yesterday.

In one game, I took the Cleveland Guardians to win on the run line, but they only won by one run.

I don't like giving out bets that are higher than -140 unless there is a ton of value.

In this case, the smarter play would've been to take the Guardians at -155, but I'm not disappointed by my look.

I have a play on tonight's total between the San Francisco Giants and St.

Louis Cardinals in hopes of getting back my lost unit from yesterday.

The Giants season did not go the way that anyone in the front office intended.

They are one of the worst clubs in baseball and will likely lose 95 or more games this year.

For a roster with as much talent as they have, it is tough to understand why they've struggled so much.

Is it due to their manager, who never had any big-league experience in the past? Is it due to them not being able to knock runners in when they get on base? Or is it because of the pitching staff? THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.

The pitching staff has struggled, and tonight's starter is no exception.

Today's starter is Anthony Molina, who was acquired via trade at the deadline.
