This is a 10* play on ST. LOUIS

This shapes up to be a very important series in the National League Central as well as the NL playoff race in general. St. Louis will start the week tied with the Cubs for first place in the division. Milwaukee is two games back. The Cardinals had the better weekend as they split in Cincinnati. We used them yesterday as a 10* play and won. The Brewers lost two of three in Washington and got killed Sunday 16-8. In the last two days, the Brewers have allowed 30 runs. Expect them to allow a lot more tonight due to the struggling Zach Davies being on the mound. Davies last three starts have seen him allow 18 runs in just 13 innings. By the way, the last time the Cardinals took on the Brewers, they swept them (back in April). The Brewers struggle on the road. Their road record is 28-34. St. Louis is 34-23 at home and will send out Dakota Hudson. In his last start, Hudson tossed six scoreless innings. The team is 8-3 with him on the mound here at Busch Stadium. Play on ST. LOUIS
