The Milwaukee Brewers had won five of their past six before this three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals. They've struggled with their division-rival in recent seasons, and this series has been no different. I like the Cardinals to complete the sweep in the series finale Wednesday afternoon.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Brewers hand the ball to Zach Davies (2-3, 5.40 ERA). He has allowed nine runs (six earned) on 11 hits in 11 innings in his last two starts. The 23 year old has served up four home runs during that span. St. Louis counters with Jaime García (4-4, 3.47 ERA) who has a 1.45 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in five match-ups with the Brew Crew since the beginning of 2015, winning each of the last four. He tossed a complete game with just one hit allowed when the Cardinals defeated Milwaukee 7-0 on April 14.

2. Road Warriors - Garcia is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in four road starts this season and the Cardinals are 8-3 in Garcia's last 11 road starts. Milwaukee is 4-12 in its last 16 games when hosting a team with a winning road record.

3. X-Factor - Milwaukee's Ryan Braun is batting .204 in 54 at-bats against Garcia.

Selection: This is a play on the St. Louis Cardinals (8*)
