Schule's MLB MERCHANT of DEATH - **$20 Tuesday Special**
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Milwaukee, 05/31/2016 4:10 PM, Score: 10 - 3
Money Line: -142.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Brewers lost Game 1 of this home series versus St. Louis by a score of 6-0, and I like the Red Birds in Game 2.

Mike Leake will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's given the Cardinals four consecutive quality starts. Leake (3-4, 3.90 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits, striking out five in seven innings in a 2-1 loss to Washington his last time out. He had won four straight prior to that, and he should look forward to more run support tonight in Milwaukee. He may need it, as the Brewers have hit him pretty hard in the past.

Milwaukee hands the ball to Wily Peralta, who has not missed many bats this season. Peralta (3-5, 6.62 ERA) gave up two runs on seven hits and a pair of walks over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Braves in his last start. He's been brutal at Miller Park, posting an ERA of 8.76 in five starts. Facing the Cardinals won't help, he's 4-8 with a 4.74 ERA in his last 13 starts against St. Louis.

Matt Carpenter is hitting .457 with three home runs lifetime versus Peralta, and Matt Holliday is batting .357 with a pair of home runs against him.

Take STL.
