Can Cardinals' Offense Overcome Brewers at Busch Stadium?

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium on April 26, 2025, at 2:15 PM EDT. As the Cardinals prepare for this crucial matchup, their recent performances suggest a need for improvement in both hitting and pitching to secure a victory.

Cardinals' Offensive Struggles


The STL team has faced challenges in their recent games against the New York Mets. In particular, their offense has struggled to find consistency. On April 19, they managed only three hits and failed to score any runs. This lack of offensive production is concerning as they prepare to take on MIL's formidable pitching staff.


However, there are signs of potential within the Cardinals' lineup. During the game on April 18, STL showed flashes of offensive prowess with eight hits and four runs scored. To capitalize on these moments of success, players like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado must step up and deliver clutch performances against MIL's pitchers.

Brewers' Pitching Threat


MIL's pitching staff poses a significant threat to STL's chances of victory. The Brewers have consistently demonstrated strong pitching performances throughout the season. Their ability to limit opposing teams' scoring opportunities will be a key factor in determining the outcome of this game.


For STL to succeed against MIL's pitchers, they must focus on improving their batting average with runners in scoring position (RISP). This aspect was notably lacking during their previous encounters with NYM when they left numerous runners stranded on base.
