This is a 10* on OVER

This total seems to have gotten a bit too low. Sure, the Brewers and Cardinals played to a 2-0 final last night and we’ve got two starting pitchers in good form set to go tonight. But Milwaukee, who now has 41 road wins, should have scored a lot more in yesterday’s game. They collected 14 hits on Tuesday. Scoring only two runs in a game where you have 14 hits is quite rare. The team went 3 for 15 when they had runners in scoring position. St. Louis wasn’t any better, going 0 for 5 in that situation. Some timely hitting would go a long way today and that’s what we expect. Jack Flaherty has a 5.21 ERA in his career vs. Milwaukee. So history says he will struggle in this spot. It was only three starts ago that Flaherty was charged with seven runs, four of them unearned, in a loss against the White Sox. The Brewers score 5.0 runs/game away from home, a big reason for their success there. As for Freddy Peralta, who starts tonight for the Brewers, there can be no denying what a great year he is having. But it won’t take much to send this one Over. The Cardinals scored 29 runs in the four games previous to yesterday’s loss. Play on OVER
