The Brewers have won their last three meetings against the Cardinals and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Milwaukee.
In this Cardinals vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -150 home favorites. Even without a pitcher announced, you just have to ride with the Brewers in this one. They have dominated both games in this series with a combined 11-1 score and Dustin May has been terrible for the Cardinals and even weaker on the road. The Brewers have both a better offense and a better bullpen and I expect them to keep rolling and sweep the Cardinals in this series.
