Brewers vs Cardinals

Milwaukee enters this divisional showdown on a two-game loss streak, while St. Louis stumbles in having lost seven of their last ten and are dealing with a thinned lineup due to multiple injuries. The Brewers are relatively healthy aside from a key bullpen arm and continue to boast one of the stronger relief corps in the National League. On the mound, Milwaukee sends out a proven starter who has consistently delivered in this rivalry, while St. Louis counters with a pitcher who has struggled both historically against the Brewers and in recent matchups. With momentum, health, and pitching advantage tilting toward the visitors, backing Milwaukee at plus money offers meaningful value in a matchup that could impact early NL Central positioning.

Honestly, the Brewers are just in a better spot right now. St. Louis looks flat, the lineup is banged up, and Milwaukee's got a guy on the mound who owns this matchup. Taking the plus odds with the Crew feels like one of those smart plays that might not be flashy, but definitely makes sense.

Both Milwaukee and St. Louis enter Friday’s matchup trying to find rhythm at the plate, with neither team averaging more than 5 runs per game over the past week. Each side is dealing with key absences at the top of the lineup, and the pitching duel between two starters in solid form—each allowing just a handful of earned runs across their last three outings—sets the tone for a tight, low-scoring affair. With bullpens rested and both managers likely to lean heavily on late-inning arms in a game that could have early implications in the division, the Under holds strong value despite slight wind conditions favoring hitters.

Honestly, this one’s got pitcher’s duel written all over it. Both lineups are cold, both starters are locked in, and with healthy bullpens waiting, there’s not much reason to expect a scoring explosion. That 3-2 final prediction doesn’t sound far off—Under feels like the right side.

St. Louis looks to rebound from their recent form as it hosts a Milwaukee team that has dropped two straight and is still without one of its key middle-of-the-order bats. The Cardinals are expected to get a boost with their starting pitcher returning from a brief absence, while Milwaukee sends out a starter with a mixed track record against St. Louis’ top hitters. With the Brewers' bullpen showing signs of strain recently and St. Louis having covered the run line in five of its last seven at home, the edge here lies with the home team to win by multiple runs.

Honestly, this just feels like the right time to ride with the Cardinals. They’ve got the pitching edge, home momentum, and Milwaukee’s relief crew hasn’t exactly been lights out. Taking the run line on St. Louis makes a lot of sense in a spot like this.
