#953 ASA PLAY ON 8* Milwaukee Brewers -110 or -115 over St Louis Cardinals, Monday at 7:45 PM ET - Action on pitchers. Yes, the Cardinals bullpen has been solid this season but the Brewers bullpen is even better and has the lowest team ERA in the NL for bullpens! The expected starters - though we like this play even if the starters do not go - are Freddy Peralta and Jack Flaherty. Peralta has been great for the Brewers with 46 strikeouts in 40.2 innings this season. He is 4-2 this season and 34-19 in his career and, overall, has held opponents to a .198 batting average in his career. The Cardinals are just 10-18 this season when facing a team with a winning record. St Louis is also an ugly 6-13 in home games this season. The Brewers are heating up again and have been solid early this season and are 17-11 in games against right-handed starters. The Cardinals are 11-20 against righties and this match-up is a battle of right-handers. Again, even if there was a starting pitching change we like the road team here. St Louis is expected to start Jack Flaherty and, after he started the season decently, the wheels have really come off for him in his last 3 starts. Flaherty has given up 17 earned runs in 12 innings spanning his last 3 outings! Look for Milwaukee to make it 4 straight wins as they build on their 3-game winning streak and, though the Cardinals have won 3 straight and did win their most recent home game, that home victory followed losses in 12 of last 15 home games for St Louis. Off successful road trip including a sweep of the Red Sox, the Cardinals home struggles resume here as they face the top team in their division. The value is on the Brewers here ... currently available at a nearly pick'em price range of -110 to -115.
