In this Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -120 road favorites. Brewers have been the best team in baseball this season, and have been red-hot lately, but this is a tricky spot for them. The Cardinals are still 5 wins behind the Wild Card Spot in the NL, and are putting their ace on the mound in Sonny Gray. On the flip side, the Brewers are putting Misiorowski on the mound, who has been struggling lately, and has been bad on the road, with a 5.61 road ERA. The total is set too low, given both pitchers’ form, with just 7.5 runs. Both pitchers have been struggling lately, having 4.97 and 5.08 ERA in their last 5 starts respectively, and both teams are slightly better against righties, with 9.8 average runs combined. The Brewers have scored 8+ runs in four of their last six games, and the Cardinals have allowed 6+ runs in four of their last six. Go over the 7.5 runs in this one.
