Wily Peralta has been steadily regressing as the season progresses to his FIP of 4.3ish
While Lynn does have a bad walk ration, his pitches barely every hit the park. He has the 2nd lowest HR/9 ratio at 0.4 in the NL and SO% at 21.
Peralta in the other hand gives up a lot of long balls and despite his recent success against St. Louis, I like the Cardinals to win here. They are the real deal and heading in the opposite direction of the Brewers. They also have a better bullpen.
