Cardinals 4, {Brewers|Makers} 1
{Money|Cash} line (ML)
It’s {a quirky|an eccentric|a wacky} end of the {regular|routine} season for the Cardinals (+105 ) who had {games|video games} {postponed|delayed|held off} mid-season due to COVID-related {complications|problems|issues}. If the playoff bracket is not {sorted out|figured out} after the Sunday {games|video games} then St. Louis {might|may} {have to|need to} play {two|2} {additional|extra} {games|video games} {against|versus} the Detroit Tigers.
The {Brewers|Makers} (-118) are on the {brink|verge|edge} of {elimination|removal} and {need|require} {a ton of|a lots of} {help|assistance|aid} to advance. It’s a must-win for Milwaukee who {has|has actually} been steamed up to {a favorite|a preferred} after opening as an underdog. My read is that {the market|the marketplace} is {just|simply} taking the {team|group} who’s season is on the line and not {giving|providing|offering} it much {consideration|factor to consider}.
Woodruff is having {a good|a great|an excellent} season for the {Brewers|Makers} {but|however} Wainwright {has|has actually} been here {before|prior to} and is the {perfect|ideal|best} {guy|man|person} for the Cardinals to {send|send out} to the mound in {a big|a huge} {game|video game}. {{For example|For instance}, Wainwright {has|has actually} pitched in 105 2/3 innings over 27 postseason {games|video games} (all for the Cardinals) and Woodruff {has|has actually} pitched in 16 1/3 IP over {five|5} {games|video games}.|Wainwright {has|has actually} pitched in 105 2/3 innings over 27 postseason {games|video games} (all for the Cardinals) and Woodruff {has|has actually} pitched in 16 1/3 IP over {five|5} {games|video games}.} {{Also|Likewise}, the {Brewers|Makers} are 3-7 in the last 10 {meetings|conferences} in St. Louis.|The {Brewers|Makers} are 3-7 in the last 10 {meetings|conferences} in St. Louis.} I’ll take the battle-tested starter {at home|in your home|in the house} getting plus-money.
BET CARDINALS (+105 ). New to sports {betting|wagering}? A $100 bet on the Cardinals (+105) pays a $105 return if St. Louis beats Milwaukee.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
{PASS ON|HAND DOWN} THE RUN LINE. We are on St. Louis and their run line {insurance|insurance coverage} is too {expensive|costly|pricey} for my {liking|preference|taste}.
- {Brewers|Makers} -1.5 (+135 )
- Cardinals +1.5 (-162 )
Over/Under (O/U)
I lean UNDER 7.5 (-110 ) {because|since|due to the fact that} the number is suspect and there are {a bunch|a lot} of Under {trends|patterns} in this {game|video game}. {{First|Initially}, the combined Over/Under record of Brewers-Cardinals in NL Central {games|video games} is 30-39-7 O/U this season.
| The combined Over/Under record of Brewers-Cardinals in NL Central {games|video games} is 30-39-7 O/U this season.
