St. Louis Cardinals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. You just have two teams going in different directions right now and I just haven’t liked what I’ve seen from the Cardinals as of late. Kyle Gibson is a pitcher I try to fade as often as possible and given the form that the Brewers are in right now, I’m perfectly fine doing that here. Give me Milwaukee in this one.
