Big 4 days here facing the Cards while the Cubs likely will win 3 or 4 in Cincy.

Carlos Martinez has been awful lately and unless you're post dating this Luke Weaver has also been bad and has an ERA of 4.69

I am most worried about Mikolas, if they are patient the Crew should walk 6 times tonight. Martinez hasnt been throwing as hard and cant locate. Tonight has potential to be a big night offensively for the Brewers, of course things could change, Martinez is still a great pitcher but just for fun I predict a 8-4 win tonight

I feel like Martinez owns us everytime we face him. No clue if the stats actually back that up.

Martinez lifetime vs MKE: 1.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 105Ks in 97.0 IP, 6-4 in 25 starts.

There is some sort of sucker bet going on with the bookmakers. Against current Cardinals, Suter is OK: .752 OPS against.

C-Mart has been struggling since his return from the DL with a ton of walks. Velocity is a bit down but seems to be returning to his norm.

I get that the Brewers are at home, somewhat break the mold of models, and that Hader, etc. are all likely available tonight...but it's Brewers -135 right now. That's not right even knowing all of the reasons that the Cards/C-Mart should be faded a little bit.

Not sure how long Braun is out after the latest thumb injection.

They had said that they didn't expect him to miss much time. It's possible that he's available tonight and they preferred a different lineup.

Cain out with a cramped hammy. Nothing serious it seems.

Nice insurance runs in the 7th.

Is it seriously only 5 earned runs out of 11? Hah.

Cardinals looking like the Washington generals of MLB tonight. They are in their own heads
