The Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> dropped the series opener to the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> 6-3 at Busch Stadium.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0Brewers vs. Cardinals predictions see the road team flipping the script, facing a pitcher they\u2019ve enjoyed plenty of success against.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive deeper into my daily\u00a0MLB picks<\/a> for Tuesday, May 5.<\/p>\n

Who will win Brewers vs Cardinals today: Brewers moneyline (-110)<\/p>\n

Brandon Sproat\u2019s<\/a> xFIP and SIERA are two full runs less than his ERA, suggesting he hasn\u2019t pitched as poorly as it appears on the surface.<\/p>\n

He has also improved as the season progressed. Sproat pitched more than 16 innings over his last three starts, allowing four, four, and six hits, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If he can keep the ball in the park, the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> will be in good shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andre Pallante<\/a> has posted some concerning numbers against lefties (47.2% hard-hit rate, 13.2% barrel rate), and the Brewers have plenty of good ones in their lineup.<\/p>\n

\"Covers\"<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

Pallante has allowed 17 runs over his last four starts against Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Brewers vs Cardinals Over\/Under pick: Under 8.0 (-120)<\/p>\n

Sproat has done a better job of limiting baserunners of late. Untimely homers have led to bigger run totals, which is less of a concern in 50F weather, where the winds will be blowing in.<\/p>\n

If Sproat can hold his own early, the Brewers will turn to an excellent bullpen that\u00a0ranks fifth in xFIP and is tied for third in homers allowed per nine innings.<\/p>\n

Colder weather and Pallante\u2019s high ground-ball rate (50%) should allow the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> to limit the long ball. That\u2019ll make it difficult to score runs in bulk, helping keep this game Under the total.<\/p>\n
