Schule's MLB Friday Night Fistful of Dollar$
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. St. Louis, 09/25/2015 4:15 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Point Spread: -1.50 | 107.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the St. Louis Cardinals -1.5.

The Cardinals have won five straight, holding a five game lead on the Pirates in the NL Central. They host the Brewers on Friday, and Milwaukee has lost 11 of it's last 13 overall. Game 1 of this series was a blowout, and I expect the same story in Game 2.

Carlos Martinez will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's coming off three straight victories. Martinez (14-7, 3.01 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings in a win over the Cubs at Wrigley his last time out. He's owned the Brewers, going 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in two previous meetings.

The Brewers hand the ball to rookie right-hander Ariel Pena, who has yet to go deeper than five innings. Pena (2-0, 3.50 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on four hits and three walks over five innings in a home win over Cincinnati his last time out.

The Cardinals bats have exploded to score 17 runs over their last two home games, and I expect to see another offensive outburst in St. Louis tonight.

Take STL.
