Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction

The Brewers are 6-3 in their last 9 head-to-head meetings against the Cardinals, but the Cardinals are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Saint Louis. Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this Brewers vs Cardinals Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -150 road favorites. The Brewers finally cooled off with a defeat yesterday, and they are putting Chad Patrick on the mound today, who has been weaker on the road, with a 4.60 ERA, and in terrible form lately, having lost his last 5 starts. On the flip side, Mikolas has been better at home for the Cardinals, with a 3.40 ERA, and has two earned runs or less in his last four starts. I like the value with the home dog in this matchup, so take the Saint Louis Cardinals on the moneyline.
