The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to officially clinch the National League Central division crown as they go on the road and open a series vs. the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers (-115, 8)
The Cardinals will look to continue Adrian Houser’s rough 2022 season. He enters Tuesday having allowed at least three runs in eight of his last 10 starts. He’s also had command problems, issuing 3.9 walks per nine innings.
The Cardinals have had issues of their own on the mound with starter Miles Mikolas. He’s given up at least three runs in four of his last six starts. But, he’s been able to deliver length, going at least six innings in nine of his last 13 starts.
Both offenses rank in the top seven in home runs per game, but the Cardinals have been averaging more runs per game. They’ve put up 4.8 per game, thanks largely to ranking fourth in the league in on-base percentage — a category in which the Brewers rank 12th.
The Cardinals have the better bullpen ERA, ranking 10th among MLB teams with a 3.65 ERA. The Brewers’ 3.93 ERA ranks 16th.
The Cardinals are 7-4 in their last 11 games vs. the Brewers. With Houser’s second-half struggles, St. Louis will move one step closer to clinching a division title.
