St. Louis (26-20) took its second game of the series yesterday with an 8-3 victory at Busch Stadium. The tag team of Nolan Gorman and Paul Goldschmidt did a bulk of the damage early as they combined for all eight RBI in the contest.

Odds, picks & predictions

Spread: Brewers -1.5
Run total: 7
Moneyline odds: Brewers -145, Cardinals +125

Moneyline pick: Cardinals +125

We’ll pick the Cards to take down the Brew Crew in the fourth and final game of the series. Mikolas has the edge on Burnes from an ERA standpoint and he’ll get the backing of the St. Louis bats once again.

Player prop pick: Paul Goldschmidt over 0.5 RBI (+160)

Goldy has acquired seven RBI during these series and it would be a wise bet for him to get his eighth this afternoon.
