The St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers will play the rubber game of their 3-game set in an early one today at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals have a slim 1/2 game lead over the Brewers for the top spot in the NL Central so this is a pivotal game for both. The Cardinals are 7-3 over their last 10 and are expected to turn to Miles Mikolas to throw strikes. Mikolas is 8-9 with a 3.50 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. The Brewers are 4-6 over their last 10 and are expected to give the nod to Aaron Ashby. His numbers are not good. Ashby is 2-10 with a 4.32 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. The Cards always play well at home, with a record of 36-21, and should come out on top today.
