St. Louis Cardinals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Cardinals here. I don’t love this Game because Erick Fedde hasn’t been anything special since being acquired by the Cardinals at the trade deadline, but the best start that Fedde had since being acquired came at home where he is here and I think he can have a solid start against the Brewers. On the other side, Frankie Montas was a head-scratching pickup for Milwaukee in my eyes, as he hasn’t been very good this season and I don’t think it’s going to get any better here. This is a huge Game for the Cards who can’t afford to lose any more ground in the playoff hunt in the NL. Give me St. Louis.
