The Cardinals have the best home pitcher in baseball going for them in the finale of this short two-game set at Busch Stadium.
Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee picked up a 3-2 road victory in the first of a two-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Third baseman Casey McGehee was the different in last night’s contest, hitting a two-run homer off Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia. McGehee is hitting .411 with five homers and 19 RBIs in his last 14 games. “He’s on fire,” manager Ken Macha said. “I told him I didn’t want to stand next to him because I was afraid of spontaneous combustion.” Each of the last four Brewers games have been decided by just a single run, as they are 2-2 in that span and 20-14 overall in one-run contests. Since the start of the 2008 season, Milwaukee has the second-highest winning percentage at Busch Stadium of any visiting National League team (17-9, .654). The Brewers are 0-3 as a road underdog of +200 to +225 this season and 1-6 in this situation the last three years (-390).

The Cubs have shown the ability to bounce back after dropping the first two games of a series this season.
Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs
Milwaukee dropped five in a row before Monday’s 18-1 blowout victory over the Cubs and followed that performance up with a 4-3 win last night. “We’ve had a real good approach in this series,” third baseman Casey McGehee said. Today’s game will be the final of a six-game road trip that saw the club suffer a sweep in Houston. The Brewers are 26-30 on the road (-20) and have posted a 4-9-4 mark in series play away from Miller Park. Milwaukee is 2-1 early in August and a dominating 35-22 during this calendar month the last three seasons (+930). A win today would give the Brewers four consecutive victories over the Cubs for the first time since 2006. They may be hard-pressed to accomplish that feat, with a 14-25 daytime record (-1,290).
The first place Braves may stumble in their first game back from the All-Star break.

Playing the total is a definite option for bettors in the first game of this NL series.
San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers
San Francisco dropped a 4-3 decision to the Colorado Rockies in 15 innings on Sunday at Coors Field. The club is four games into a season-long 11-game road trip that takes the team through three different time zones. “We need to be more consistent on both sides of the ball,” manager Bruce Bochy said. Since June 22, the Giants have lost 10 of 12 games and have been outscored by a 67-42 margin. San Francisco’s recent troubles has caused the team to fall back a season-high 7.5 games in the NL West divisional race. The team has good reason to be confident in playing the Brewers, as the Giants have posted their best record against NL Central opponents this season (15-7). San Francisco played at Miller Park twice last season, going 3-3, but the club has won just six of their last 23 games in Milwaukee.

The Cardinals might be the best bet on the entire board with America celebrating its Independence Day.
Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee put its second-ranked offense on display on Saturday, racking up 19 hits and 12 runs in a blowout win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The run total was the most the Brewers’ offense has tallied since June 14. “Days like this are few and far between for a pitcher of his caliber,” said All-Star outfielder Ryan Braun about putting up such a total against Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter. The Brewers added two home runs to its NL-leading total of 101, which is third in the majors behind Toronto and Boston. The Brewers are now 20-22 on the road (+200) and have gone 4-8-1 in series play away from Miller Park. Milwaukee’s offense has been sparked from the top this season, with Rickie Weeks ranking tops in the majors in home runs (14) and RBI (49) for a leadoff batter.

Don’t expect a low-scoring contest in this battle between NL Central foes.
Houston Astros at Milwaukee Brewers
Houston fell 7-5 in the middle game of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. The Astros came into the contest winners of four of their last six games, but now find themselves needing a victory to salvage an even record in June (13-14, +450). Tuesday’s starting pitcher Brett Myers fell to 1-6 on the road, but carries a 4-0 record at home. The right-hander came into the contest with a 4-1 mark and 1.94 ERA in nine previous appearances against the Brew Crew. The Astros can definitely look forward to the calendar turning to Wednesday, as the team has captured eight straight games. They are 9-3 overall on the day of the week, which is their best record of any day (+790).

The Angels return home after a successful 11-3 road trip and continue interleague play against the visiting Brewers.
Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Angels
Milwaukee continues its 15-game interleague schedule tonight with the first of three games at Los Angeles. The Brewers are 86-104 all-time during interleague play, including 2-4 this season (-180) and 5-10 last season. Tonight’s contest is the Brewers’ first game against the Angels since the team took two of three games in Anaheim in 2004. The club managed to post an even 3-3 record on its recent homestand despite managing just a .125 (6-for-48) batting average with runners in scoring position. One player that has carried the offense is outfielder Corey Hart, hitting 14 home runs in his last 28 games, tops in the majors over that span. The Brewers bullpen has been much better of late, posting a 2.96 ERA over its last eight games.
