We nearly cashed our Phillies vs Cardinals same game parlay yesterday but fell just short. However, it's worth checking out correctly targeting Philly's Jean Segura as he helped mount their comeback. Unfortunately, he led the team to too many runs in that incredible 9th inning. Regardless, there were just 2 total runs scored before that last frame, so we had a solid read on the game. Let's break down Game 2, which will be the latest of the 4 Wild Card games going today.. Along with this same game parlay, be su re to check out our MLB picks for all of today's Wild Card games.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Philadelphia Phillies ML (-120) over St. Louis Cardinals
The Phillies needed their epic 9th-inning comeback to take yesterday's game, but tonight should be less of an emotional rollercoaster for their fans. That's because they'll have starter Aaron Nola on the mound, while the Cardinals will be starting Miles Mikolas. They have nearly identical records and ERAs, but that doesn't tell the full story. Nola is coming off of an incredible start against the AL-best Astros, while Mikolas has faced the lowly Pirates and Reds in 3 of his last 5 starts.
