St. Louis’ Miles Mikolas owns a 4.29 road ERA. He's 5-2 with a 3.38 ERA in eight games in Milwaukee. Mikolas faces the Brewers Adrian Houser who in his last five appearances holds a 2.61 ERA. However, against St. Louis, Houser owns a 5.59 ERA in two starts. In their last 10 games, the Brewers are out batting the Cardinals .240 to .200. Cardinals also have the 3rd best bullpen in the NL as compared to the Brewers 5th best. But, if St. Louis wins tonight, they clinch the division. I’m on Cardinals.

Adrian Houser has actually pitched really well in four of his six appearances since returning from the IL. Miles Mikolas has been very hit or miss this season and he is much worse on the road going 5-10 with a 4.29 ERA. The Cardinals bullpen has actually been a lot better lately ranked 5th in the last 30 days while the Brewers are ranked 13th. However, the Cardinals have lost both series on this road trip and they are 6-6 on the road in the last 30 days while the Brewers are 10-5 at home. I like the Brewers at home.

The Brewers have nine games remaining and are 1.5 games behind the Phillies for the last NL wild-card spot. They’ve won four of their last five.. They’ve won Adrian Houser’s last four starts. The Cardinals have lost five of their last seven and they’ve lost Miles Mikolas’ last three starts. Mikolas is shaky on the road always. Take the Brewers to win.
