Tobias Myers (6-5, 2.81 ERA) vs. Kyle Gibson (7-5, 4.26 ERA)
Brewers’ Tobias Myers has been incredibly consistent and poised during the last game as evidenced by his commendable 2.81 ERA. He is very effective in preventing opponents from scoring runs for his team because of the 1.11 WHIP he has managed to achieve in a total of 99.1 innings pitched. For instance, he possesses the capability of striking out players with ease (85 Ks).
On the other hand, Kyle Gibson has a higher earned run average at 4.26 despite posting a winning record for St Louis Cardinals. The numbers show that Gibson’s performances have been more susceptible to hits and giving up runs evidenced by a 1.34 WHIP across 131 innings; this could be attributed to some extent by his style of play that results in him walking batters more often than not (50 BB).
The contest between these two pitchers will serve as an indicator for their pitching efficiency. The Cardinals hurler has given up an incredible number of hits . Thus, this game will be strongly influenced by this match-up, which is characterized by Myers, who wants to capitalize on his opponent’s recent poor form, against Gibson who plans to use his experience to get through today’s Milwaukee lineup.
Subtle Strengths: Analyzing the Brewers’ Offensive Strategy
The Brewers’ batting order, however, not really explosive can be characterized by pinpoint accuracy that contradicts their mediocre .241 average. The figures of 139 home runs and a .400 slugging percentage seem to indicate a team that takes its chances once they are presented. With this strategic hitting approach paired with their fairly good on-base percentage, it is clear that the Brewers are an effective rather than a fancy team.
Cardinals’ Cohesion at the Plate
The Cardinals are an example of a united team that is also known for its batting average which stands at .255 and an on base percentage of .332. They get on base more than the Brewers in this game. Since they have 128 home runs to their name this season, they are able to change the game with power hitting.
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Trends
In their last five games, the Brewers have gone 4-1, providing a vivid indication of a team finding its feet at just the right moment. Certainly, they were impressive in road games against the spread where they had 33-29. This means that aside from being an important factor to consider for this match-up, they perform well when away from home.
St. Louis Cardinals Betting Trends
Despite that, the Cardinals are having a hard time of late with a 1-4 record in their last five games. The less favorable road record against the spread (26-37) also shows vulnerabilities that could be exploited by the Brewers.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Betting Previews
With respect to these statistical insights and the present day shape of both teams, Brewers seem like a better option here. Their strong pitching performance coupled with strategic batting formation gives them a higher hand than Cardinals that have not been consistent in pitching and control of play since the start of the campaign. Over/under and prop bets are affected adversely by Myers’ form hence leading to low scoring games for the Cardinals.
It makes sense therefore to bet on the Brewers if they were favorable at its time of release for a spread line. It is always advisable to check updates as well as odds from the MLB free previews before you put your money down.
Score Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers 5, St. Louis Cardinals 3.
