Expert picks & predictions for tonight's game between the Brewers and the Cardinals
'The Cardinals haven't been a good team, nor productive offense over the last seven-to-eight games. With a 1-6 record and four or fewer runs in five of the last eight games, St. Louis isn't putting themselves in position to win. The NL Central is down and this is a 50-50 coin-flip type of matchup. I lean toward the Milwaukee ML at +110 odds, but I would feel better with a +1.5 or +2.5 in the game if the Cardinals score first.'
