St. Louis Cardinals vs Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee is the superior team on almost every dimension — 101-59 record, the best in this slate, with 8-2 in last 10 on a W3 streak. Dustin May (ERA 4.67, WHIP 1.32) is not elite but holds an edge over Mathews (ERA 3.65 but only 44.1 IP — thin sample for a LHP). The Cardinals' offense is among the worst on this slate recently (3.1 R/G last 10, .574 OPS last 10, multiple ❄️ key hitters — Walker, Burleson, Winn, Herrera all cold). MIL hits .246/.707 vs LHP which is respectable and their lineup features quality bats across the board (Turang 🔥, Chourio, Bauers, Contreras). Despite the pitching score being limited by May's ERA, MIL's dominant team quality and STL's offensive collapse support a play.
