Cardinals at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 5, Cardinals 4
Money line
Leaning into some possible Quintana fatigue in this spot. And backing Woodruff and his versus-batter and home-park splits.
Brewer bats have been more reliable of late.
TAKE MILWAUKEE (-165).
Run line/Against the spread
Skip the extra juice, and AVOID this play.
Over/Under
Mixed signals here, but a slight lean on the Over. Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 7.5 (+105).
