Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

In Saturday’s NL Central matchup between the Brewers and Cardinals, I recommend taking the experience and consistency of Adrian Houser over the Matthew Liberatore. Even though Milwaukee’s offense is prone to inconsistency, they have been opportunistic against below-average starters. Look for the Brewers to pick up the win.
