Parsons' AFTERNOON MLB PUNI$HER (13-4 L7 DAYS!)
(MLB) Cardinals (STL) vs. Brewers (MIL),
Point Spread: 1.50 | -145.00 Cardinals (STL) (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* PUNI$HER on the Cardinals runline.

Milwaukee has a nine-game lead over the Cubs for the division lead, but the Cards still sit five games back of the final NL Wildcard spot.

Time's running out for one of these teams.

But St. Louis is arguably playing its best baseball of the season by winning four of its last five. Milwaukee just had its five-game win streak snapped in yesterday's 4-3 loss at Cincinnati.

Andre Pallante (6-6, 3.80 ERA) gets the call for the visitors, and he's been red hot of late. Freddy Peralata (9-7, 3.70) counters for the home side, and he's been equally as dominant over the last month.

I'm calling these starters a "wash."

In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm taking the hungrier visiting side on the runline option.

The play is ST. LOUIS on the RUNLINE.

Good luck, NP
