Painting Corners: Best MLB Prop Bets Today (Mitchell Parker in Prime Spot vs. Cardinals) Breaking down the best prop bets to consider for the Major League Baseball action on Monday, July 8.
Matt Carpenter - Likely to lose playing time Carpenter is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Carpenter will hit the bench for a sixth consecutive game, with the Cardinals having faced left-handed pitchers in each of the last five contests. Though he had been seeing steady opportunities against right-handed pitching lately, the 38-year-old Carpenter will likely find himself on the bench more frequently after the Cardinals reinstated Lars Nootbaar (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday. With Nootbaar expected to take back an everyday role in right field, Alec Burleson should replace Carpenter as the Cardinals' primary designated hitter.

Dylan Carlson - Sitting against lefty Carlson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Carlson started the first three games of the series versus lefties but went just 1-for-11 with six strikeouts. He'll begin this one on the bench as the Nationals send another southpaw, Mitchell Parker, to the hill. Lars Nootbaar is back from the injured list to handle right field and Michael Siani will be in center.

Lars Nootbaar - Returns from 10-day injured list The Cardinals activated Nootbaar (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Impact Nootbaar wound up missing nearly six weeks of action with a strained oblique and is ready to return after going 6-for-23 with two home runs during a seven-game rehab assignment. He will resume everyday duties in right field, shifting Alec Burleson into more of a designated hitter role.

José Fermín - Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Impact St. Louis has not announced a corresponding move, but it would seem to indicate that Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will be activated prior to Monday's game versus the Nationals. Fermin has slashed just .130/.216/.174 over 51 plate appearances with the big club this season.

Nolan Arenado - Drives in two in win Arenado went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Arenado continues his hot stretch at the plate with his third consecutive game of two or more hits. It's the second time this season he's put together a streak of three straight multi-hits, each of which has come over his last 22 appearances. He also picked up an RBI in consecutive games after a stretch where he only had two RBI in his last 14 games. The veteran's slash line sits at a solid .270/.322/.379 but a lack of homers - seven so far - has stunted his fantasy value.
JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Alec Burleson - Picks up seventh steal Burleson went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Burleson has picked up multiple hits in three of his last six games. He's also stolen two bases in his last three games and five over his last 15. The 25-year-old's impressive first half has been a key factor in the Cardinals turnaround as he's settled into the second spot in the lineup. Burleson is hitting .281/.318/.455 with 13 home runs and 42 RBI over 82 games.
JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Willson Contreras - Blasts home run, swipes bag Contreras went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Contreras had a monster game, contributing in all facets and extended a hitting streak to six games in Sunday's win. He clubbed his ninth home run of the season and his third in his last six games. The veteran got his first three RBI game of the season and his third stolen base in the process. He's picked up where he left off since returning from the IL and is hitting .299/.399/.529 on the campaign.
JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Lars Nootbaar - Possible return Monday Nootbaar (oblique) is nearing a return and could rejoin the Cardinals as soon as Monday in Washington.
Impact Nootbaar has been out since May 30 while recovering from a left oblique strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of being activated from the 15-day injured list. The outfielder went 6-for-23 with two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored over seven games during his rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield before joining returning to St. Louis.
JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Gibson - Picks up seventh win Gibson (7-3) earned the win Sunday over the Nationals, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.
Impact Gibson got through the first five innings allowing just two runs, but allowed the first three hitters to reach in the sixth before getting pulled. The veteran has won three of his last four starts and has had quality starts in four of his last seven outings. The 36-year-old has helped stabilize the Cardinals rotation, he has a 3.96 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 97.2 innings.

Impact Edman's surgically repaired right wrist apparently responded well to batting practice sessions in Springfield on Friday and Saturday, with the latter being a live session against rehabbing right-hander Riley O'Brien (forearm). Unless Edman experiences another setback with his wrist in the next day, he'll see his first game action of the season Tuesday. Edman will presumably remain on his rehab assignment throughout the week before the Cardinals reassess his status coming out of the All-Star break.
