Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Over 7
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. St. Louis,
Total: 7.00 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
I will be riding with the Over (7) runs in this matchup between the Brewers and the Cardinals. Both teams have one of their best pitchers on the mound, but they have had struggles as of late. They have shown that they are beatable and both teams are extremely hot at the plate right now. The Brewers are hitting .266 and scoring 5.01 runs per game in their last 10 against RHP, as they are seeing the ball very well right now. They also looked great against the Rays in their last series. I also see the Cardinals having success at the dish, as they are also scorching hot against RHP in their last 10. They are hitting .279 as a team and scoring 6.57 runs per game. Now the Brewers will be starting Corbin Burnes on the mound, but he has lost his past two starts. The Reds and the Pirates got to him early, as I see the Cardinals doing the same thing in this game. They can score multiple different ways, as they can string together hits or clear the bases with a moonshot over the outfield walls. St. Louis is scoring the sixth most runs per game, and they are hitting the 11th most home runs. They will have success at the dish in this one, as they will do their part in pushing this total over (7) runs. The Cardinals will be starting Adam Wainwright on the mound, as he has also had issues this season. He is (8-8) with a 3.42 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP, as the Brewers will have multiple chances to score throughout this game. Wainwright is (4-3) at home this season and he was shelled by the Yankees in his last start. He only pitched for 4.0 innings but gave up eight hits and six earned runs. The Brewers will get to him in this one and they will also do their part in pushing this total over (7). I just feel like this total is too low, as these pitchers haven’t been lights out as of late.
