St. Louis Cardinals Betting Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals are 47-41 this year after they lost game one by a score of 3-4 last night.

  • The Cardinals have led after 3 innings in three of their last four games against the Brewers at Busch Stadium.
  • The Cardinals have led after 5 innings in four of their last five games against NL Central opponents.

Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction

Milwaukee was able to get a nice comeback win to start this series on Monday night and they have won three of their last four games. The Brewers are 27-15 on the road this year, while the Cardinals are 23-22 at home. St. Louis has dropped two in a row and they are running into some depth issues with their pitching. The Cardinals have not named a starter for either game of this double header, while Milwaukee is starting Misiorowski in game one, who has been elite. I will take the Brewers -1.5 in game one, but I can’t make a selection on game two until I see some starters listed.

David Racey's Pick: Game 1: Brewers -1.5 Game 2: TBD
