HOUSTON (AP) — Masyn Winn cleared the bases with a double down the third base line, and the St. Louis Cardinals won their fifth straight game, beating the Houston Astros 7-5 in 10 innings on Sunday.

Winn was 3 for 5, and he finished the series with seven RBIs.

Houston had the tying run on base in the bottom of the 10th, but Christian Walker grounded into a fielder’s choice to end the game.

Riley O’Brien (3-0) earned the win in relief. Gordon Graceffo got the final out for his first save of the season.

It’s the Cardinals’ first sweep of the Astros in a three-game series in Houston since April 20-22, 2004. They are 5-0 in games decided in extra innings.

Houston rallied from 4-1 down with two outs in the eighth inning. Yordan Alvarez hit his league-leading 10th home run, and after Jose Altuve singled and Walker worked a 10-pitch walk, Isaac Paredes tied the game with a two-run single.

Cardinals starter Michael Liberatore allowed one run and three hits in six innings. The only blemish on his line came in the third inning when Carlos Correa followed Taylor Trammell’s triple with a sacrifice fly.

Astros starter Mike Burrows struck out a season-high seven and retired the first 14 batters he faced, but the next five reached base, and he was removed before finishing the fifth inning, allowing four runs. Bryan King (0-1) took the loss in relief.

Jordan Walker was 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 14 games.

The Astros have lost four in a row and 12 of 14.

RHP Spencer Arrighetti (1-0, 1.50 ERA) starts for Houston on Monday against RHP Slade Cecconi (0-2, 5.03 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series at the Cleveland Guardians.

RHP Michael McGreevy (1-1, 2.49 ERA) is scheduled to start for St. Louis on Monday against RHP Max Meyer (1-0, 4.12 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins.

NHL Predictions: Expert Picks on Saturday, May 9

May 9, 2026 11:04 am · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: In the NHL playoff matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers, the Hurricanes are heavily favored at -185, reflecting their dominance with a 3-0 series lead and a strong historical advantage, winning 19 of the last 21 encounters. The Flyers, struggling to score against Carolina's defense, have failed to net more than two goals in any playoff game this season, making the total of 5.5 an appealing under bet at -145. Expert sentiment leans towards Carolina's continued success, particularly with their ability to stifle opponents, as evidenced by the Flyers' inability to score after a promising start in game two. Logan Stankoven, despite a recent scoring slump, remains a focal point for betting, with props suggesting he will rebound and record over 2.5 shots on goal. In the other game, the Colorado Avalanche, leading the series 2-0 against the Minnesota Wild, are favored at -135. The potential return of Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek adds uncertainty, as he could significantly impact Minnesota's offensive capabilities. Bettors should consider the Avalanche's strong form and the Wild's recent struggles, particularly if Eriksson Ek is not at full strength. Overall, the trends and player performances suggest a cautious approach, favoring Carolina and Colorado for the wins, while looking at individual player props for potential value.

2026 NFL Draft Winners from Matt Youmans

April 27, 2026 7:08 am · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: The Dallas Cowboys emerged as significant winners in the recent NFL Draft, bolstering their defense with key selections that could influence their performance in the upcoming season. Notably, they secured safety Caleb Downs at the 11th pick, who was highly regarded as the top defensive player by ESPN's Matt Miller, and edge rusher Malachi Lawrence at 23 after a strategic trade with the Eagles. This draft strategy comes in the wake of Dallas's struggles, particularly after ranking last in scoring defense last season, which underscores the urgency for improvement on that side of the ball. The hiring of Christian Parker as the new defensive coordinator, previously with the Eagles, adds a fresh perspective to a unit that desperately needs to enhance its performance. Expert sentiment suggests that while the Cowboys' offense remains formidable, their championship aspirations hinge on a significant defensive turnaround. Betting markets may react to these developments, especially if the Cowboys show early signs of improvement in preseason games. As the team integrates its new talent, monitoring player performance and defensive metrics will be crucial for bettors looking to capitalize on potential shifts in odds as the season approaches. Overall, the Cowboys' draft choices reflect a commitment to addressing past deficiencies, making them a team to watch for both fans and bettors alike.

MLB Picks Today: Greg Peterson Best Bets Saturday, May 9

May 8, 2026 8:00 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: In today's MLB matchups, the betting landscape reveals several insights worth considering. The Los Angeles Angels face the Toronto Blue Jays, with the Blue Jays favored on the run line at -1.5 (+125), reflecting confidence in their lineup against an Angels bullpen struggling at 5.96 ERA. The Blue Jays' starting pitcher, Trey Yesavage, has shown promise despite limited innings, which could tilt the game in their favor. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles are positioned as -130 favorites against the Athletics, bolstered by a strong home run creation rate and facing an Athletics lineup that has underperformed on the road. The Orioles' Shane Baz, despite a higher ERA, has been effective in limiting home runs, suggesting he could stifle the Athletics' offense. In the matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, the Rays are attracting attention with odds at +130, especially given the Red Sox's Payton Tolle, who, despite a solid start, has a history of inconsistency. The total set at 8 runs could be influenced by both teams' offensive capabilities, with the Rays ranking eighth in road scoring. Lastly, the Astros, with Spencer Arrighetti's impressive 1.96 ERA, face potential challenges due to his high walk rate, which could lead to early exits, making the game against the Cincinnati Reds unpredictable. Overall, bettors should weigh starting pitcher performance, bullpen reliability, and recent team trends when placing wagers today.

AI Expert Analysis: As the NBA playoffs progress, betting insights reveal significant trends and odds movements that could influence wagering decisions. The Pistons, currently leading their series 2-0, are attracting attention as underdogs against the Cavaliers, with odds favoring Detroit at +4.5. Notably, Detroit boasts a strong 12-3 straight-up and 13-2 against the spread record as underdogs this season, while Cleveland struggles with a dismal 15-35 ATS record against winning teams. In the matchup between the Knicks and 76ers, New York's dominance is evident, leading the series 3-0, and they are slight favorites at -1.5 for Game 4. Philadelphia's reliance on Joel Embiid, who appears to be less than 100% healthy, could hinder their performance, especially given the quick turnaround with all starters logging heavy minutes. Meanwhile, the Spurs' 2-1 lead over the Timberwolves highlights their recent form, as they controlled most of Game 3. With Victor Wembanyama's standout performances, the Spurs are positioned well to capitalize on their momentum. Bettors should closely monitor these trends, particularly the fatigue factor for the 76ers and the Spurs' rising confidence, as they could be pivotal in determining outcomes in the upcoming games.
