No starting pitchers had been announced for Game 2 at the time the provided information was compiled. With no projected starters listed for either club, the focus entering the nightcap remains on how the two teams have performed throughout the season and over their most recent games.
Milwaukee Looks to Finish the Day Strong

The Brewers’ biggest advantage continues to be their pitching. Milwaukee owns the better ERA, WHIP, strikeout total, and opponent batting average compared to St. Louis. Even though the Cardinals have displayed more home run power, Milwaukee’s overall balance has been one of its greatest strengths all season.
St. Louis Aims to Split the Twin Bill
The Cardinals come into the second game with a 47-40 overall record and a 23-21 mark at Busch Stadium. St. Louis has won three of its last five games, recently earning victories over the Cubs twice and Atlanta once while recently dropping games to the Cubs and Braves. The Cardinals have been competitive during their recent stretch and will look to capitalize on playing at home in the finale of the doubleheader.
St. Louis is batting .248 with 403 runs, 725 hits, and 99 home runs. The Cardinals have produced a .325 on-base percentage and a .397 slugging percentage. On the mound, they own a 4.14 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .252. St. Louis has issued 290 walks and recorded 654 strikeouts. The Cardinals are 31-21 in night games.
The Cardinals’ greatest strength is their ability to hit for power. Their 99 home runs are well ahead of Milwaukee’s total, and they have also posted a winning record in night games. However, their pitching statistics trail Milwaukee’s in several important categories, making run prevention a key challenge entering this matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Game 2 Picks and Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Game 2 Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline
I’m backing Milwaukee in the nightcap because the Brewers have been the more complete team throughout the season. They own the better overall record, the stronger road record, and significant advantages in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and opponent batting average. The matchup predictor also favors Milwaukee, making the Brewers my choice for Game 2.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Game 2 Total Pick
- Pick: Under 8.5
I would take the under if the total is set at 8.5. Milwaukee has consistently relied on one of the better pitching staffs in this matchup, carrying a 3.35 team ERA and a .219 opponent batting average into the game. While St. Louis has shown more home run power, I think Milwaukee’s pitching profile is enough to keep the scoring below the number.
