Cardinals vs Brewers Prediction 

These two teams come into this series battling for position in the NL Central standings, so this is a big game for both sides. St. Louis is 14-18 on the road this year, while Milwaukee is 20-14 at home. Neither side has much momentum right now, and the Cardinals have allowed at least five runs in four straight games, but they are starting Gray, who has allowed zero earned runs in three of his last four starts. The Brewers are starting Misiorowski, who has a ton of potential, but this is a tough lineup to make your debut against. Take the Cardinals here.
