The St. Louis Cardinals have lost six of their last eight games, and I think they're in for a tough matchup here against NL Central rival Milwaukee Brewers.

Milwaukee left-hander Brent Suter (7-4, 4.30 ERA) is 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA in two starts against St. Louis this season. The Brewers have won five of his last six starts and he limited Philadelphia to one run through seven frames of a 13-2 triumph his last time out.

St. Louis righty Carlos Martinez (3-3, 2.73 ERA) has had plenty of success against Milwaukee throughout his career. He has however struggled big time since returning from the disabled, posting a 7.11 ERA through three starts and issuing 18 walks in 12 2/3 innings in those outings.

Brewers are 7-2 in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
