Can Brewers' Hitting Overpower Cardinals at Busch Stadium?

As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to face the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on April 20, 2024, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent offensive momentum. The Brewers have shown a strong performance in their past games, with a notable increase in hits and runs scored.

In their most recent match against the New York Mets, the Brewers secured a win with nine hits and four runs, maintaining a clean sheet with no errors. Their hitting statistics were impressive, boasting an average of .273 and an on-base percentage of forty percent. The bullpen's performance was also noteworthy; they kept the opposition to a batting average of just .143 over four innings pitched.


The game before that saw even more dominance from Milwaukee's hitters as they racked up sixteen hits and seven runs against the Mets once again. Despite allowing six earned runs by their pitchers, the team's offensive prowess ensured another victory.

Going back further to another clash with New York, we observed consistency in Milwaukee's gameplay – eight hits led them to three runs while keeping errors off the board entirely. The pitching staff excelled by limiting New York to only one hit over nine innings.


These trends suggest that while pitching has been reliable for Milwaukee – particularly from relievers who've maintained low earned run averages – it is indeed their hitters who could be pivotal in overcoming Cardinals' challenges at Busch Stadium.
