St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I’m still not the biggest fan of Robert Gasser as I don’t see him in this Brewers rotation consistently come playoff time and probably out of the bullpen more often than not. That being said, Milwaukee is playing the far better baseball and haven’t let clinching the division and hitting 100 wins slow them down. St. Louis just looks done and I think the Brewers pick up another win in this one. Give me Milwaukee.
