Top MLB Betting Odds & Picks for Cardinals vs. Brewers

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers O/U

When betting an over/under in a game involving the Milwaukee Brewers, one has to be confident they will do their part in the scoring, as the Brewers are 8-23 when scoring three runs or fewer. Thus, they have scored three or fewer earned runs in 44.2% of their games. A big reason for their poor offense is that they are so strikeout prone, as they entered yesterday’s game averaging 8.8 K’s per game, fifth-worst in baseball. Given that St. Louis starting pitcher Dakota Hudson (5-3, 3.31) is off to a 5.0 K/9 pace, which would be his lowest by 1.2 strikeouts per nine innings, we like for Milwaukee to put the ball in play early and often today.

We are not worried about St. Louis’s ability to score, as they rank third in the majors with 342 runs. They face Jason Alexander (1-0, 2.42), who has allowed two or fewer earned runs in all four of his career starts but has faced just one team over .500, while the other three opponents (Cubs, Nationals, Reds) are all at least 17 games under .500. We expect the step up in competition to get the best of him today.

Bet: Cardinals-Brewers OVER 9 Runs (-110 at DraftKings)
