Starting
Pitchers
Milwaukee: Gallardo (17-10,
3.52 ERA)
St. Louis: Carpenter
(11-9, 3.45 ERA)
I’m
looking forward to this; after Greinke’s ripping of Carpenter, St. Louis are
sure to be fired up for this one, and Milwaukee will throw everything at them
... well, someone will get hit.
The
problem for the Brewers is the shift in momentum that has occurred after Pujols
found his form with the bat – he lit up Game 2, and there was a collective sigh
of relief on the Cards’ bench. I mentioned a few days ago they looked gassed;
well they’ve caught their breath.
Gallardo
has been hit hard by St Louis, going 1-3 with a 5.70 ERA in four starts against
them this season, but he has been strong down the stretch and into the
post-season, where he has a 0.86 ERA in 21 innings.
Carpenter
was outstanding last time out, and went 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA in four starts
against the Brewers this season.
The
value looks like the totals here, and although both pitchers are in good form,
this will be a tension filled encounter, and with the power in these lineups, a
couple of mistakes could be expensive.
Sam
Holbrook behind home may help; he has a 20-10 O/U line.
Pick: Over 7 @ 2.00;
100; Evens
