The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up a rain-shortened series at Busch Stadium on Wednesday afternoon, with both clubs heading in different directions early in the NL Central race. The Cardinals (21-14) have been one of baseball‘s most surprising teams thus far, winning seven of their last eight, while Milwaukee (18-16) has struggled to find its footing early on.
Andre Pallante takes the mound for St. Louis, carrying a 3.73 ERA into the start after being pushed back a day by the rainout. Milwaukee counters with rookie Brandon Sproat, who’s searching for his first win of the season with an 0-2 record and a 6.75 ERA. The Brewers will also be without star outfielder Christian Yelich, who’s sidelined with a groin injury.
First pitch is set for 1:15 PM ET.

Best Bet for Brewers vs. Cardinals
Jordan Walker Over 0.5 Runs Scored (+120): Walker has scored at least one run in 22 of his 34 games this season (64.7%) and comes into this one on a five-game streak. He scored against the Brewers on Monday, went 4-for-4 with two runs against the Dodgers on May 1, and has been one of the most consistent run scorers in St. Louis’ lineup all year. At plus money, this is a worthy play against a struggling starting pitcher in Sproat, who’s allowed opposing offenses to put up runs all season.
