The Milwaukee Brewers are a top exposure for Thursday night's games as a -116 favorite after opening at -123. Close to 60% of the action was on the Brewers.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Carlos Martinez (3-3, 2.73 ERA) vs. Brewers LH Brent Suter (7-4, 4.30)
Martinez has issued 18 walks over just 12 2/3 innings in three starts since returning from a four-week absence due to a lat muscle injury. The 26-year-old is winless over his last four starts.
Suter has won six of his last eight decisions, including a victory over the Cardinals on May 28, and is 1-2 with a 4.10 ERA in eight career appearances (four starts) against St. Louis, all of which bets the question: Why are the Brewers such a small favorite here?
I'm not seeing enough action to pull the trigger here but some food for thought.
