This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Cardinals/Brewers.

Neither team has been playing to many high-scoring games of late, but we can expect those trends to end this afternoon.

St. Louis has seen the total go UNDER in three straight, which is significant to note in our case here as the Cards have seen the total go OVER in six of their last eight after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

Milwaukee's seen the total go UNDER in four straight.

These starters have been decent to this point, but we believe that they're in the wrong place at the wrong time this afternoon.

The Cardinals hand the ball to Dakota Hudson (5-3, 3.31 ERA), while the home side counters with Jason Alexander (1-0, 2.42.)

Hudson is 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA in three starts at Milwaukee, conceding 14 rusn and five dingers over 11 frames of work.

Alexander makes his second start of the season. His 2.42 ERA after his first four MLB starts is third lowest in franchise history, but regression appears to be the horizon to us.

This number is a little low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
