Super Early MLB *AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE*
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -120.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -120.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
Rating: 8/10*
This is a big series for both teams as they try to chase down the Cubs who are currently top of the NL Central.
The Cardinals hand the ball to Michael Wacha (8-4, 3.71 ERA) who was 4-1 with a 1.93 ERA in July. He will be looking to redeem himself for a couple of subpar outings against Milwaukee earlier in the season, and I like his chances considering the Brewers' recent struggles. We can also note that Wacha is 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA in five starts during the day this season.
The Brew Crew turn to Matt Garza (4-5, 3.83 ERA). They've lost four of his last six starts and seven of his last 10. Garza is just coming off the 10-Day DL (leg injury), and I don't think he'll be at his very best today.
The Cardinals are 6-1 in Wacha's last seven starts overall and 9-3 in his last 12 Thursday starts. The Brewers are 3-10 in their last 13 games against a right-handed starter.
My pick is St. Louis Cardinals ML
