The St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers will play the rubber game of their three-game series after splitting the first two. St. Louis leads Milwaukee by a 1/2 game in the NL Central race. Aaron Ashby gets the nod for the Brewers against the Cardinals Miles Mikolas. Ashby is 2-10 this season with a 4.32 ERA while Mikolas is 8-9, with a 3.50 ERA. The Brewers have been struggling and are just 3-7 in their last 10. Ashby has failed to go five innings in each of his last two starts. Mikolas is 4-2, with a 2.48 ERA in 11 starts at home. Ashby is 1-7, with a 4.72 ERA on the road. St. Louis has the more consistent overall offense while the Brewers rely on the long ball. Mikolas has been the better pitcher this season and I expect him to limit the Brewer's offense enough for the Card's bats to get the win.

Play on St. Louis. This is an 8* play.
