Jose Quintana has had his issues on the road this season, but he’s been ridiculous this month overall, allowing 2 runs in his last 25.1 innings. Brandon Woodruff has been great all season, he’s even better at home, and he’s had great success against the Cardinals for his career. With all that said, the Cardinals are the better team here, and getting them at plus money has value. The Brewers lose big games time and time again, and last night was another spot. Give me the Cards.
