Brewers vs. Cardinals Odds & Betting Predictions - August 20, 2024

I will take a plus price with the better team. Brewers have won 5 in a row. Cards 1-6 in their last seven. Wrong favorite.

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Frankie Montas gets the call for his 23rd start of the season and fourth with the Brewers. Overall, he's got a 1.46 WHIP with a 4.0 BB/9 to go with his 8.1 K/9 over 107.1 innings. He has worked quite well for Milwaukee so far, with an ERA of 3.86 in three starts with his new team. In his last start, Montas did well against a very potent Dodgers lineup, managing through 5 innings with no earned runs, 5 hits, 3 walks, and 6 strikeouts. The Cardinals will send to the mound Erick Fedde, in his 25th start of the season, as he sits at 8-6 this year with a 3.40 ERA. Fedde has been a steady arm ths season, posting a 1.15 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9, and 7.2 K/9 over his 137 2/3 frames. Bullpens from either side should be particularly well rested after an off day on Monday. The Cardinals post a 3.66 ERA in the bullpen. The Brewers have been the second-best bullpen across baseball, posting a 3.24 ERA. Temperatures are 76 degrees, and there is a light nine-mile-per-hour breeze blowing in from left-center at Busch Stadium. Conditions look ripe for a low-scoring game, but again, two capable starters are going to be setting foot on the mound with their bullpen well-rested and above average. This could end up being a war for the NL Central and, of course, a real low-scoring game.
