Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. The Brewers dropped Wednesday’s matchup but they’ve been the team in the far better run of form in recent weeks and I’m not really looking to step in front of that. The Cardinals just continue to be hit or miss and I think the Brew Crew clean cup with a win here. Give me the Brewers.
