Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-06-12

The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to break their three-game losing streak as they face off against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at American Family Field. Let's dive into the juicy stats and trends to find the best bet.

Starting Pitchers:
The Cardinals will send Sonny Gray to the mound, who boasts a 7-1 record with a 3.35 ERA. Gray has been stellar, with 81 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings pitched. On the other hand, the Brewers will start Jacob Misiorowski, making his first MLB start. Talk about a baptism by fire!

Key Players:
For the Cardinals, keep an eye on Brendan Donovan, who's rocking a .310 batting average, and Nolan Arenado, with 8 home runs and 35 RBI. Lars Nootbaar has also been crushing it with 8 home runs and 28 RBI.

The Brewers' Jackson Chourio has been on a tear with 18 doubles, a triple, 11 home runs, and 10 walks while batting .257. Christian Yelich is also a threat with 13 home runs and 41 RBI.

Trends and Stats:
The Cardinals have a 15-14 record when favored on the moneyline, while the Brewers have won 13 of 34 games as underdogs. This season, the Cardinals have combined with opponents to go over the total 37 times, while the Brewers have hit the over in 25 of their 68 games.

Injuries and Updates:
No significant injury updates are available, but it's worth noting that Misiorowski's first start could be a wild card.

Odds and Markets:
The odds are courtesy of various sportsbooks:

FanDuel: Cardinals -1.5 (2.32), Brewers +1.5 (1.62), Over 7.5 (1.85), Under 7.5 (1.96)
LowVig.ag: Cardinals -1.5 (2.36), Brewers +1.5 (1.65), Over 8.0 (2.07), Under 8.0 (1.81)
BetOnline.ag: Cardinals -1.5 (2.35), Brewers +1.5 (1.65), Over 8.0 (2.05), Under 8.0 (1.8)

Best Bet:
Considering the trends, stats, and starting pitchers, I recommend taking the St. Louis Cardinals on the moneyline at around 1.79 ( FanDuel). Gray's experience and dominance on the mound give the Cardinals an edge, especially against a Brewers team that's struggled as underdogs.

Additionally, taking the Under 7.5* at around 1.95 (FanDuel) could be a solid play, given the Brewers' lower over rate and Gray's ability to limit runs.

There you have it! A data-driven analysis that's equal parts witty and wise. Now, go forth and make some informed bets!
