The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. St. Louis Cardinals on the other hand are coming off a sweep of the Kansas City Royals. The Brewers are coming off a 2-1 win on Sunday in which Eric Lauer went 4.0 innings with one earned run on three hits. Corbin Burnes will take the mound for the Brewers against the Cards. This season, he has posted a 2.23 ERA in 121.0 innings. The Cardinals are coming off a 7-2 win on Sunday. JA Happ has a nice outing, going 5.2 scoreless innings with two walks, five hits, and two strikeouts. The Cardinals will counter with Adam Wainwright on the mound. This season, he has posted a 3.27 ERA in 148.2 innings with 137 strikeouts and 37 walks.

Wainwright has been strong over his last five starts for the Cards. He has gone 7.0 innings or more in each of those starts, allowing three or fewer earned in all of them. Burnes, in his last two starts, has gone 15.0 innings, with one earned run and eight hits. I am taking the Cards at this + money price and I like Wainwright to outduel Burnes.

Play on St. Louis.
