Cardinals vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Cardinals, and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Milwaukee. Under is 6-3 in their last 9 meetings.

In this Cardinals vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -165 home favorites. Both pitchers have been struggling lately, but Gray has been terrible on the road, with a 5.24 road ERA, and he was torched in his previous start against the Brewers, having given up 6 runs in 4.1 innings pitched. On the flip side, Misiorowski bounced back after a series of bad starts, and he has been excellent at home with a 3-0 record and 2.76 ERA. His previous starts against the Cardinals was a shutout, so I like the Brewers to get the job done once again at home in this one.
