Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I’m not sold on Erick Fedde right now, as he’s been hit hard by a lot of teams so far this season and has given up a lot of sharp contact. The Brewers are a better team than what they’ve shown in this series, and it’s only a matter of time before Milwaukee really starts to figure out the road woes that they’ve been having for the better part of the season. I think Milwaukee salvages something from this series and gets the win on Sunday. Give me the Brewers.
