The Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals meet Tuesday in MLB action from Busch Stadium. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals prediction.
The Milwaukee Brewers will send out Brandon Sproat for the start here and Sproat is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA and 25 strikeouts this season. This will be Sproat’s first career start against the Cardinals. Andre Pallante will start for the Cardinals in this one and is 3-2 with a 3.73 ERA and 26 strikeouts this season. In his career, Pallante is 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA and 10 strikeouts.
The Milwaukee Brewers come into this game looking to bounce back from a 6-3 loss at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals last time out to sit at 18-16 this season. After this series, the Brewers will head home for a series against the New York Yankees.
William Contreras has 38 hits with 7 doubles, 3 home runs and 23 RBIs while Brice Turang’s added 35 hits with 8 doubles, a triple, 5 homers and 22 RBIs. Jake Bauers has 28 hits with 6 doubles, 5 home runs and 19 RBIs and Sal Frelick’s added 22 hits with 3 home runs and 9 RBIs this season. Luis Rengifo’s added 19 hits with 8 doubles and 11 RBIs and Garrett Mitchell has 21 hits wtih 6 doubles and 21 RBIs this season.
The St. Louis Cardinals come into this game looking to add on to their win over Milwaukee from Monday’s game to improve to 21-14 this season. After this series, the Cardinals will head on the road for a series against the San Diego Padres.
Jordan Walker leads the Cardinals with 40 hits, 6 doubles, 10 home runs and 27 RBIs while Alec Burleson has 36 hits with 9 doubles, 5 home runs and 28 RBIs. JJ Wetherholt has 33 hits with 7 home runs and 18 RBIs while Ivan Herrera has 32 hits with 9 doubles, 4 home runs and 17 RBIs. Nolan Gorman has 26 hits with 5 home runs and 21 RBIs this season. Masyn Winn’s added 31 hits with 6 doubles and 14 RBIs and Nathan Church has 25 hits with 5 home runs and 16 RBIs this season.
I’m on the Cardinals in this one. I just think that St. Louis is the team in better form here and I think that Sproat is the weakest link in this Brewers starting rotation. St. Louis is coming off of a strong series against the Dodgers and carried that momentum into Monday’s opener and I think they pick up another win here. Give me the Cardinals.
