Milwaukee at St. Louis

Like last year Milwaukee is not a good road team (3-6) and the offense is missing Prince Fielder, No. 25 in batting average and No. 20 in on-base percentage. Zack Greinke goes here but hasn't been an ace, with a 4.56 ERA, and in his last three starts has a 6.48 ERA. The Brewers are 17-36 in their last 53 games as a road underdog, 0-6 their last six road contests and 1-11 in their last 12 games against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. St. Louis goes with lefty Jaime Garcia (2-0, 2.49 ERA), who has been outstanding, and the Cardinals are 19-7 in Garcia's last 26 starts as a home favorite as well as 4-1 in Garcia's last five starts against the Brewers. The Cardinals are 20-6 in their last 26 home games vs. a right-handed starter and the Brewers are 1-5 in Greinke's last six starts as an underdog. When these division rivals meet, the Brewers are 1-6 in the last seven meetings in St. Louis. Play the Cardinals.
