T.M. Selection: Brewers/Cardinals UNDER.

I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St Louis Cardinals game on Saturday. The Cardinals just overtook the Brewers for 1st place in their division and now the Cardinals have a 1.5 game lead over the Brewers for 1st place. I expect this to be a very close series though with all games being close considering how important each game is to both teams. The 1st game of this series on Friday was also a really low scoring game with not many runs, and I expect this game to be similar with 2 stud pitchers starting for each team. Corbin Burnes (8-5, 2.45 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts all year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in a lot of his starts and he just had another great start where he gave up just 1 run. He has also seen this Cardinals lineup 2 times this year and he pitched 7 shutout innings in both starts. The Cardinals won the 1st game yesterday but only put up 3 runs in the process and I see this being another game where the runs are hard to come by for them. Adam Wainwright (8-8, 3.42 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts this year too. He just had a really bad start in his most recent one where he gave up 6 runs against the Yankees, but I expect him to bounce back with a much better performance in this game like he has been doing in his starts all year. The Brewers haven't been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately either and I expect Wainwright to shut them down here. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers.
