There are a couple of plays I like today.
MIL @ St Louis 7:15 ET
STL ML +128
This one is a little bit of a stretch but I think, with how well the Cardinals have been playing lately, they will win this game. MIL has a clear edge in the starting pitching today but all other factors point towards STL. I like the value we are seeing with the line so its a play for me.
Starting Pitching
Burnes (MIL) 2.45 ERA vs Wainwright (STL) 3.42 ERA. Milwaukee has the advantage in pitching and each pitcher has faced this opponent twice. Wainwright did not do very well giving up 7 ERs in 9.2 innings of work. Burnes did very well giving up 0 ERs in 14 innings of work.
Batting:
Recent performance at the plate by STL is what I think will allow the Cards to win today. They are outperforming the Brewers in recent games.
STL WRC+ 106, OPS 0.752, AVG 0.258
MIL WRC+ 97, OPS 0.679, AVG 0.228
STL recent RPG 6.0
MIL recent RPG 3.5
Decent delta in recent rpg favoring STL.
Relief Pitching:
Its about even between these teams.
Misc:
St. Louis has been on a tear of late. 11-3 record in last 14 games and they love to play at home. 36 of their 62 wins have been at home. The 36 wins is the 4th highest in MLB. They are a +8.5 units at home this season and when they are home dogs, they win 55% of the time..
Milwaukee is 3-7 in their last 10. They are a -4.0 units on the road this season making the delta to the Cardinals 12.5 units one of the largest on the board today.
