Saturday's Best MLB Picks & Bets: Cardinals vs. Brewers
(Odds courtesy of BetMGM)
St. Louis Cardinals (+105) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (-125) | O/U 8.0 (-115/-105) Picks
Let's head over to the Midwest, where the sliding Cardinals (36-34) try to snap a six-game skid against the Brewers (38-33). Andre Pallante gets the nod for the Red Birds, while the Brew Crew counters with Jose Quintana. This divisional clash gets underway at 4:10 p.m. ET from American Family Field in Milwaukee, WI.
Quintana is one of the more underrated pitchers in the Majors. The 36-year-old continues to eat innings and post serviceable numbers, as he enters the weekend with a 2.66 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in eight starts (44 innings). The southpaw has dominated the Cardinals in the past, holding their current roster to a slash line of just .117/.190/.247 over 77 at-bats. He's primed for another solid outing this evening, which I believe will help keep this final score under the total.
On the other hand, we have Pallante and his 4.75 ERA (67th) heading to the bump. The right-hander is coming off a quality start against the Blue Jays (six innings, two earned runs). I expect him to keep things rolling against a Brewers offense that has been terrible recently. Over the last seven days, Milwaukee ranks 29th in both wOBA (.280) and wRC+ (77), while sitting 28th in ISO (.109) and 25th in strikeout rate (24.4%). Give me the under in this National League Central showdown.
Bet: Under 8.0 Runs (-105)
