Although the Brewers lineup is dangerous, Dustin May has quietly been more effective lately, allowing more than three earned runs only once in his last eight outings. Milwaukee’s bullpen has also been dominant, while St. Louis continues to struggle offensively. With six of the last seven meetings hitting the Under, another low-scoring game is likely.

The Milwaukee Brewers have completely controlled this series, outscoring the St. Louis Cardinals 11-1 through two games. Dustin May owns a 5.23 road ERA and now faces one of baseball’s hottest offenses. Even with a bullpen game likely ahead, Milwaukee’s relief staff has been excellent all season.

Cristopher Sanchez remains in elite form, while Walker Buehler continues to be a liability in San Diego’s rotation, sporting a 5.01 ERA with a whiff rate that ranks in just the 13th percentile at Baseball Savant. Give me the Phillies on the road.

Gerrit Cole has averaged 74.8 adjusted pitches per GS this year, ranking in the 8th percentile.. The #7 venue in Major League Baseball for suppressing strikeouts, per the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Kauffman Stadium.. Kauffman Stadium sits at the 4th-highest elevation in the league. High elevation tends to lead to better offense.. The weather forecast predicts temperatures in this matchup to reach the highest level of the day at 83°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).

Junior Caminero continues to crush the baseball, hitting .409 over the last week with 13 home runs on the season. Ryan Weathers has allowed all eight of his homers this year to right-handed batters, which sets up well for the powerful Tampa Bay slugger.

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
