Preview

The St Louis Cardinals will visit the Milwaukee Brewers to play a 4-game series at the American Family Field on Thursday. The Cardinals have won 6 of the last 7 head to head games against the Brewers.

St Louis Cardinals

Pujols homered for the first time since returning to St. Louis and Andrew Knizner launched a three-run shot as the Cardinals defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Tuesday night. The Cardinals are now 3-1 so far this season and are averaging 6-25 runs per game while allowing 4.

Dakota Hudson pitched 4 innings in his first start with the Cardinals an allowed 3 runs and 4 hits, striking out 4.

Probable Pitcher:

Adam Wainwright (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cardinals in the 1st game of the 4-game series. Wainwright allowed zero runs on five hits across 6.0 innings and earned the win Thursday against the Pirates. He struck out six and didn't record a walk. In his last 3 games against the Brewers he has allowed 8 runs in 16.1 innings pitched striking out 9.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers get here with a 3-3 record after beating the Orioles 4-2 and won the series. The team is averaging 3.0 runs and allowing 4.33 runs per game. Christian Yelich is batting for a .263 AVG while Rowdy Tellezn leads with 4 RBI. Willy Adames has 1 home run.

Corbin Burnes, allowed three hits and no runs, struck out eight and walked only one in seven innings.

Probable Pitcher: 

Brandon Woodruff (0-1, 17.18 ERA) will take the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Brewers. Woodruff gave up six runs on seven hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out two in 3.2 innings in a 9-0 loss Saturday against the Cubs. In his last 3 games vs St Louis he has a 5.40 ERA in 15 innings pitched.

BETTING TRENDS

St. Louis are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against Milwaukee.

St. Louis are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games on the road.

Milwaukee are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games.

Milwaukee are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against St. Louis.

Prediction

The Cardinals offense is doing great so far as they have scored 25 runs total in their first 4 games of the season. The Brewers scored 4 runs in the last game but they're averaging 3 per game. Milwaukee offense hasn't looked that great so far and they'll be facing Wainwright. Woodruff should be better on this game but the Cardinals have the better offense. Take the Cardinals to win.

PICK: Cardinals ML (+117)
