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 11-6. 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.

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.

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.
