Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction
The Brewers are 7-3 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings against the Cardinals, but the Cardinals are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Saint Louis.
In this Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -140 road favorites. The Brewers bounced back yesterday after Friday’s loss and are putting their ace on the mound in Freddy Peralta, who has 17 wins this season, and has been red-hot lately, with one earned run or less in seven of his last eight starts. On the flip side, Liberatore has a 5.11 ERA across his last 5 starts for the Cardinals, who also have a weaker offense. This is good price for the road team who has a huge pitching advantage in this game, so take the Milwaukee Brewers on the moneyline on the road.
