Father’s Day Showdown: Cardinals and Brewers Set to Ignite a High-Stakes Battle on the Diamond
The Cardinals are playing decent enough baseball this season. They don’t have the division lead, and they might not ever get it. Their best path to the playoffs is likely to be the Wild Card, and thanks to the creation of the three spots for a Wild Card. St. Louis doesn’t really do anything that blows you away, but they are a good hitting team, and their pitching is doing well enough. As a team, they have a batting average that is one of the top in the league. The pitching staff has a 3.98 ERA, but their team WHIP is just 1.28 and their opponent batting average is .255. That is a lot of traffic to allow on the base paths, even if they aren’t giving up a ton of runs. Today they send out Miles Mikolas to the mound. Mikolas is 4-3 with a 4.48 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Those numbers are pretty much in line with the rest of the St. Louis staff, especially if you consider his road ERA which is 3.97. Having faced the Brewers consistently over the years, he has held their team to a .221 batting average in 113 at-bats.
