Game outlook

The NL Central has seen tough competition in April, and this weekend will see two of its teams, the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals, facing off at Busch Stadium. Game two of their series is set to begin at 2:15 p.m. EDT. Despite being on opposite ends of the division standings, only three games separate these teams. Colin Rea will start on the mound for the Brewers while Miles Mikolas will start for the Cardinals. St. Louis is favored to win, with the current line at St. Louis -126. It remains to be seen who will come out on top in this matchup.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Brewers +110 | Cardinals -126

Spread: Brewers +1.5 (-190) | Cardinals -1.5 (+160)

Total: Over/Under 8.5 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that St. Louis will win straight-up is 56%.

Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee has been performing exceptionally well so far this season, ranking in the top three in multiple offensive categories such as goals per game, batting average, OBP, slugging percentage, stolen bases, and home runs. However, they have struggled on the mound with DL Hall having a tough start to the season. The Brewers will be looking for him to turn things around as they face the St. Louis offense. The bullpen will also need to step up to slow down the opposing team. Despite these challenges, Milwaukee is ranked number one in power rankings and has a record of 103-59. Good luck to the Brewers this weekend. Don't forget to use the bonus code WAWBET on BetMGM for a special offer for new customers.

St. Louis Cardinals Analysis

The St. Louis Cardinals are currently just below .500 but hope to improve their standing in the NL Central by tying with the Brewers after their series. Their pitching staff has been performing well, ranking in the top 10 in various categories. Despite a rough outing in Arizona, pitcher Miles Mikolas will look to bounce back in his upcoming start at home. Offensively, the Cardinals have struggled, ranking low in runs per game, batting average, OBP, and slugging percentage. They will need to generate more offense to improve their standing. The Cardinals have a power ranking of 16 and are currently 77-85 overall. In their last three matchups, Milwaukee went 0-3 against St. Louis.

Cardinals poised for success against struggling Brewers pitcher DL Hall

With DL Hall on the mound for the Brewers, it is anticipated that the Cardinals' offense will make an impact early in the game. Hall has struggled this season, allowing nearly double the amount of hits (22) as innings pitched (12.2). Meanwhile, the Cardinals have the advantage in the bullpen matchup. Miles Mikolas has excelled in his only home start this year and has historically performed well at Busch Stadium with a career ERA of 3.28. With a bullpen that ranks sixth in FIP and WAR, St. Louis is poised to maintain any early lead they secure and emerge victorious with a comfortable margin of victory. Choose St. Louis to secure an early advantage and sustain it throughout the game.
