Cardinals vs Brewers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cardinals have looked good in their games this season with their 36-33 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL Central. They haven't been a great road team though with their 14-19 road record. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 37-33 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL Central. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark this year with their 21-14 home record too. The Brewers haven't been at their best lately, but they have still looked a lot better than the Cardinals who just got swept by the Blue Jays in their last series and is now 3-7 in their last 10 games. Pallante is on the mound for the Cardinals in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 4-3 with a 4.75 ERA and has been really up and down all season. He hasn't been at his best lately either, only giving up 2 earned runs in his last start but his team still losing their last 2 games with him starting. The Brewers have been the opposite lately as they are going with Quintana in this one and the team has won 2 games in a row with him on the mound. He has also looked great this season as he is 4-1 with a 2.66 ERA and coming off another good start in which he gave up 1 earned run, something that has been a common theme for him this year. The Brewers have also looked a lot better at home this year and they can take advantage of a bad road team in the Cardinals. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
