Analyzing the team's recent performances provides insight into what fans can expect. In their last three games, the Brewers have displayed a mix of offensive firepower and pitching challenges. Their hitting has been notably strong, with a significant .325 average in one game highlighted by six runs scored off thirteen hits. This offensive surge was supported by an impressive bullpen performance that maintained a 2.077 ERA over 4.1 innings pitched in another game, showcasing the team's ability to close out games effectively.


However, it hasn't been all smooth sailing for the Brewers' pitching staff overall; they've encountered some rough patches as evidenced by an ERA of 13.5 from their bullpen over two innings in one of the matches analyzed. This inconsistency will need to be addressed if they hope to contain the Cardinals' lineup.
