St. Louis at Milwaukee

What can be said about the Milwaukee Brewers? Their season has all been factored by a 20-7 start. They have been a pedestrian team since then, and right now they are feeling the pressure with nine straight losses, and just two wins in their last 14 contests. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals seem to always find a way to get into the playoffs, and have taken control in the rugged NL Central. These teams are on different paths with Milwaukee dropping nine straight and the Cardinals bearing down at crunch time with six straight in the win column. John Lackey has won 13 times this season and owns a 2-0 lifetime log vs. Milwaukee. St. Louis is manhandling the Brewers as they are 41-19 in the last 60 meetings including 21-8 here in Milwaukee. All St. Louis in this one.
