St. Louis at Milwaukee

Don't look now but the St. Louis Cardinals are just two games back in the loss column and this is a huge game for them today. The Cards have won six of seven and have taken the first two in this series. Adam Wainwright has been their most consistent pitcher and since mid May. He has delivered quality starts in 10 of his 15 outings, having pitched to a 3.27 ERA in his last 100 innings of work. The Brewers have really skidded out of control. They dominated early at home, but have now just won four of their last eleven in Milwaukee and are just 6-14 in their last 20. The pitching has been brutal, as the staff has allowed 127 runs in the last 17 games good for an unbelievable 7.47 runs a game. That spells trouble, as the Cardinals have allowed just 13 runs in their last seven, and Wainwright has been their best. Cards get to within 1 in the loss column.
