In this Saint Louis Cardinals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -150 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records, but the Brewers have been strong at home, while the Cardinals are struggling on the road. The Cardinals have been in terrible form lately, and got shut out yesterday by 6-0, and are now putting Fedde on the mound, who has terrible underlying metrics, with a 5.28 expected ERA. On the other hand, Peralta has been excellent for the Brewers, and he’s playing even better at home, so the home team has a huge pitching advantage here. I expect the Brewers to be up front while those two pitchers are on the mound, so take the Milwaukee Brewers on the moneyline in the first 5 innings.
