What to Watch For

The public betting more on the OVER with a number that continues trending down towards 8.5, then consider the UNDER.  We should know which side is seeing the most action early in this one.  More lopsided action on the Brewers and a line dropping back below -131 encouraging more action on Milwaukee could be reason to pull the trigger on St. Louis.  But this is going to have to be very convincing as Milwaukee is 8-2 in the last ten meetings.

Expected Starting Pitchers

Michael Wacha STL (0-0, 5.28) vs. Corbin Burnes MIL (0-1, 10.05)

Wacha, at least, is a solid pitcher who is yet to win in 2019.  Burnes, on the other hand, owns a 10.05 ERA with two no-decisions and a loss.  In that loss, Milwaukee permitted 14 runs.  His other two starts featured games with nine and thirteen runs scored, respectively.

A better starter than Burnes and we would probably be all over the UNDER.

Wacha is yet to have a loss.  All of his starts have resulted in no-decisions. That said, each one feature more runs scored than the current total.

St. Louis ranks 7th in the MLB for best relievers.  The Brewers are in the middle of the pack here.

The problem of course is that Milwaukee has won eight of the last ten meetings.

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
