EV signal: Premium only

Final score: St. Louis Cardinals 1, Milwaukee Brewers 5

Why this play: The Cardinals' offense has just enough bite to stay within 1.5 runs against a Brewers pitching staff that hasn't been tested by a high-powered lineup this year.

Quick read:

Backing the Cardinals +1.5 means you're betting they won't lose by more than one run, which seems reasonable given their near-even run differential this season. They’ve produced 416 hits and 60 home runs, showing some pop that could trouble Milwaukee’s pitching.
Milwaukee’s run differential is impressive with 246 scored and only 179 allowed, but the Brewers haven't consistently faced an offense with the Cardinals' combination of contact and power. This subtle mix might be enough to keep the game close.
The risk here is Milwaukee’s stout pitching, which might frustrate St. Louis’ bats. However, the price for a 1.5-run cushion is fair, and if you like close games that might just slip under the radar, this is your spot.
