<div>
<p>The <strong>Milwaukee Brewers</strong> are set to take on the <strong>St. Louis Cardinals</strong> in a thrilling <strong>NL Central</strong> battle. The Cardinals, with <strong>Jordan Montgomery</strong> on the mound, are heavy favorites at a <strong>-183</strong> price. A <strong>total</strong> of <strong>eight</strong> runs has been set, with the FanDuel Sportsbook leaning toward the <strong>over</strong> at a <strong>-112</strong> price. This showdown between division rivals is set to begin today at 7:45 PM Eastern.</p>
<p>The Brewers have struggled against <strong>left-handed pitchers</strong>, posting the <strong>highest strikeout rate</strong> in the league. Meanwhile, Montgomery boasts one of the <strong>highest strikeout rates</strong>, and both bullpens have performed well this year, ranking in the<strong> top ten</strong> for <strong>ERA</strong> and <strong>FIP</strong>. Therefore, runs could be scarce in this match-up, especially considering that <strong>Busch Stadium</strong> isn&#8217;t typically a <strong>hitter-friendly ballpark</strong>. As such, there could be value in betting on the <strong>under</strong> for this game.</p>
<p>Over the past 30 days, Montgomery has an elevated <strong>xFIP</strong> number of <strong>4.57</strong>, with decent strikeout and walk rates. He has been effective against left-handed batters but has struggled against right-handers, yielding a <strong>.377</strong> <strong>weighted on-base percentage</strong>. However, Milwaukee&#8217;s lineup hasn&#8217;t been particularly impressive against left-handed pitchers over the same period, with only <strong>Own Miller</strong> and <strong>William Contreras</strong> posting impressive on-base percentages.</p>
<p>Considering the Cardinals&#8217; hot streak and the Brewers&#8217; better record, the betting odds might suggest the Cardinals as the team with the better talent and potentially the better pitcher on the mound. Nevertheless, betting on the<strong> under</strong> in this game seems like a smart move. A final score of 4-1 or 4-2 could comfortably secure an under wager.</p>
