Milwaukee at St. Louis

There certainly have not been a lot of high spots for the Milwaukee Brewers over the past few seasons. At 18-35 on the season, their playoffs hopes have already faded and are likely gone. That hasn't stopped them from being ultra competitive in splitting the first two games of this series, both 1-0 decisions for each club. Jimmy Nelson gets the ball for the Brewers today, and he has been decent with a 3.90 ERA on the season. That pretty much matches the ERA owned by Jon Lackey vs. the Brewers over his career which stands at 3.86. Nelson has pitched the Brewers to four straight road wins vs. a team with a winning record, and the Cardinals are just 2-6 in Lackey's last eight starts on four days of rest. Play on Milwaukee.
