#907/908 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 7.5 Runs – St Louis vs Milwaukee, Thursday at 4:15 PM ET – The Cardinals and Brewers have both struggled at the plate early this season. St Louis is off a 7-0 win but had averaged scoring just 3 runs per game in 3 games prior to yesterday's big victory at Miami. The Cards are hitting only .206 on the season and the Brewers have been even worse as they are hitting only .171 on the season. Milwaukee has scored an average of only 2.6 runs per game their last 5 games. Each team has been getting solid pitching recently as well. Adam Wainwright gets the start for the Cardinals in their home opener today. Though he got roughed up in the season opener he looked excellent in spring training and is a 39 year old veteran who knows how to adjust after a rare tough outing. Wainwright not only dominated in spring training, he is known for being great in day game action. Wainwright went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA and .134 BAA in day games last season. The year before that it was 6-1, 1.61, and .210 for more excellence under the sun in 2019. Wainwright also is known for pitching great at home where he has gone a combined 11-6 the past two seasons with an ERA under the 3.00 mark. As a result, the Brewers run-scoring woes should continue here and the Cardinals bullpen is fresh and has fared well in recent games. The Cardinals bats are also likely to be stifled here as the Brewers have been getting great pitching and this includes from Corbin Burnes. The righty was a hard-luck loser in his first start as he struck out 11 in 6 and 1 / 3 innings and allowed just 1 hit in the outing. That is a tough loss for sure but the Brewers could give him no run support and that is likely to again be an issue here. Look for another strong start from him as Burnes went 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA and a .174 BAA last season as he returned to the form of his rookie season of 2018 when he went 7-0 with a 2.61 ERA and a .199 BAA. Burnes was fantastic this spring too and carried that right into his dominating first start this season as well. We expect this one to get to no more than 5 or 6 runs at best. Take the UNDER.
