Brewers vs Cardinals picks and parlays

It’s the second game of the series between the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals. Each of these teams wants to grab wins in this series as they fight for position in the NL Central. Milwaukee has a relatively large lead on everyone else in the division but they can’t let their foot off the gas yet. The Cincinnati Reds are behind them and looking to close the near 8-game gap between them.

The Cardinals, third in the division, are looking to close the gap between themselves and the Reds. St. Louis completed two straight sweeps before heading into this series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Those sweeps were against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Kansas City Royals. Now, St. Louis has their eyes set on the Brewers who come in as -125 favorites per BetOnline. Now, let’s get to our Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cardinals prediction.

Peralta Takes The Mound For Milwaukee

The Brewers aren’t wasting any time and will put their best pitcher on the mound Wednesday night. It seems that the Brewers understand how strong the competition is here against the Cardinals. The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a sweep over the Cubs and a series win against the Pirates. One thing you’ll have to remember though is before those series, they faced the San Francisco Giants. They lost that series two games to one, putting a small dent in their confidence. With Freddy Peralta on the mound, the 9-3 as a starting pitcher will do his best to stall the batters of the Cardinals. The great news for him is that the Cardinals aren’t a great batting team at all. The Brewers can take advantage of this on Wednesday and try to limit the number of runs the Cardinals put up.

Flaherty Starts The Game For The Cardinals

It makes sense that the Cardinals aren’t heavy underdogs in this game, only +100 per BetOnline. The reason why is due to them starting Jack Flaherty, who is 9-1 as a starter for the Cardinals. Both the Brewers and Cardinals are putting their best pitcher on the mound for this inter-divisional game. Now the question is, can the Cardinals do enough to win this one.

Although the Cardinals don’t have great batting, the Brewers are pretty average too. This should make for a really great game between these two stellar pitchers. If the Cardinals can get an edge here, they might be able to win this one.

Our Milwaukee Brewers Vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

This is a battle between great pitchers and it should be understood that the score won’t get very high here. Definitely worth taking the under in this game when betting. However, when choosing between the team there are a couple of factors we need to take into consideration. First, the Cardinals are playing at home, where they have underperformed this season. Second, the Brewers have slightly better batting. We’ll take the Brewers to win this one, just barely though as the Cardinals are starting one of the best pitchers in baseball right now. Look for a very small margin of victory, with the score going under the run total.
