The Brewers are a pure “Fade” team right now, plain andsimple. This squad has lost 8 games in a row and just got their doors blown offby the subpar Cubs. They were outscored 17-5 in that series and are hitting just.211 since beginning this losing streak. To make matters worse, Carlos Gomezwent down with an injured left wrist and Ryan Braun’s status is uncertain dueto the birth of his child. The Brew Crew has given up the division lead due tothis stretch of poor play, and they gave it to the team that’s coming intoMiller Park tonight.
St. Louis is playing solid baseball right now, winners of 5straight. They’ve won 7 of 12 meetings this year vs. Milwaukee and have alsotaken 12 of their last 16 at Miller Park. Michael Wacha comes off the disabledlist for this one. He’s pitched well all year long and shouldn’t miss a beatfacing the shorthanded Brewers lineup.
It’s Wily Peralta on the other side, a guy who gave up 6runs in just 3 innings in his last start. Peralta has allowed a whopping 14runs in just 8 innings throughout his last 2 starts. Something is clearly wrongwith this guy, and he’s not likely to figure it out tonight. Take theCardinals.
