AI Analysis
Kyle Harrison is arguably the best pitcher on this slate outside of Burns and Schlittler (ERA 1.77, WHIP 1.07, 59 K in 45.2 IP). Milwaukee is 31-20 with an excellent team ERA (3.25) and their offense hits RHP well (.258/.726 vs RHP). William Contreras (.352 L14 🔥) and Jake Bauers (.373 L14 🔥) are two of the hottest hitters in the data. St. Louis' L5 offense is cold (3.4 R/G, .625 OPS) and their key bat Masyn Winn is ice cold. McGreevy is solid (ERA 2.40) but Harrison's strikeout rate and ERA give Milwaukee the clear pitching edge at home.
Concerns
