Mikolas brings the ERA, Priester brings the party, who survives the NL Central chaos?
Moneyline: Milwaukee (-123)
Total: 8.5
St. Louis Cardinals: Road Woes and Wild Whiffs
The Cardinals stroll into Milwaukee looking like a team that packed more hopes than hits in their luggage. With a 15-20 road record, it seems like their GPS only works in Busch Stadium. They’ve dropped seven of their last ten and are holding a 4.75 ERA like it’s a participation trophy.
Miles Mikolas takes the mound with a 4-3 record and a 4.48 ERA that’s not terrifying… unless you’re a Cardinals fan. His WHIP of 1.31 says he’s just friendly, too friendly when it comes to letting runners on base. Offensively, Willson Contreras is driving in runs like he’s in an Uber, and Nolan Gorman’s been smashing dingers and probably egos too. Still, unless they score five or more runs (which they’ve only managed 33 times in 71 games), their chances of winning drop faster than your phone’s battery when watching a livestream of this bullpen.
Milwaukee Brewers: Brew Crew at Home and Slightly Buzzed
The Brewers are 22-15 at home and would love to keep that party going, preferably with fewer strikeouts and more extra-base hits. They’re 24-6 when they outhit their opponents, which sounds impressive until you realize that means they lose almost every time they don’t. Baseball, it turns out, is hard when you don’t get hits.
On the bump is Quinn Priester, who’s been quietly decent with a 3.65 ERA and a 4-2 record. He’s not the ace, but he’s that reliable friend who always shows up with chips when everyone else forgot to bring anything to the BBQ. Meanwhile, Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio have been swinging like they’re trying to impress their high school crush, and it’s kind of working.
Betting Breakdown and Totally Biased Prediction
Milwaukee enters as the -123 moneyline favorite with the total set at 8.5. With St. Louis struggling to pitch or hit on the road, and Milwaukee being marginally better at both, this might just be the Brewers’ day. Expect a few big swings, some questionable baserunning, and at least one random rally started by a walk and a blooper.
Final Score Prediction: Brewers 5, Cardinals 3
Bets Bet: Milwaukee ML (-123)
Total: Under 8.5 (-119) (but barely… like, one bad bullpen inning from being wrong)
Grab your cheese hats and enjoy the weirdness, it’s NL Central baseball at its finest.
