Our Brewers vs Cardinals Pick: CARDINALS

The St. Louis Cardinals are the value pick despite facing one of baseball’s best teams. Milwaukee owns the league’s top ERA and a dominant pitching staff, but St. Louis averages 4.57 runs per game, has hit 102 home runs, and features an experienced starter in Andre Pallante capable of keeping the game close. The Cardinals’ bullpen has recorded 62 holds, while their offense has enough power to capitalize once Milwaukee turns the game over to its relievers. If Henderson doesn’t work deep into the game, St. Louis has a realistic opportunity to steal this matchup. Pick: St. Louis Cardinals.
