In their most recent game against the Mets, the Brewers' offense was firing on all cylinders with 9 hits leading to 4 runs while keeping errors off the board. Their batting average stood at .273 with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .400, indicating a strong ability to get players on base.

Pitching has been equally effective for Milwaukee, with starters posting low ERAs and high strikeout rates per nine innings (K/9). The bullpen has proven reliable as well, contributing significantly towards securing wins.


However, playing away at Busch Stadium could introduce new challenges for the Brewers. Factors such as crowd support for the home team and familiarity with playing conditions may give the Cardinals an edge.
