Today’s matchup is between the Milwaukee Brewers (28-29) and the St. Louis Cardinals (28-27).
The Brewers are starting Brandon Woodruff (LHP), who is 2-5 on the season pitching a 3.43 ERA, 3.46 FIP, .277 wOBA, K% of 30.5%, BB% of 6.4%, 87.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.07 WHIP in 65.2 innings pitched.
The Cardinals are starting Adam Wainwright (RHP), who is 5-2 on the season with a 3.05 ERA, 3.81 FIP, .322 wOBA, K% of 21.8%, BB% of 6.0%, 87.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.02 WHIP in 59.0 innings pitched.
The Brewers are the 10th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Cardinals are 13th.
On the hitting side, the Brewers have a .304 wOBA and a .312 OBP. The Cardinals have a .305 wOBA and a .325 OBP. The Brewers have 71 HRs this season while the Cardinals have 49 HRs.
I like the Brewers here, Brandon Woodruff has a higher era than Adam Wainwright, but he also has a lower FIP & wOBA. The Brewers should be able to get it done batting and with their bullpen as well.
