Brewers vs Cardinals Game Analysis and Winning Probability - Wednesday, May 06, 2026

-110O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-110

Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-110)
Given the 1.35 discrepancy between Brandon Sproat’s 5.89 ERA and his 4.54 estimated true talent ERA (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in MLB since the start of last season and ought to see better results the rest of the season.
Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
William Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
Typically, batters like William Contreras who hit a lot of flyballs tend to be less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Andre Pallante.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
Jackson Chourio hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.4% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 7th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

St. Louis Cardinals – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
In his last outing, Andre Pallante was firing on all cylinders and allowed 0 ER.
Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
Ivan Herrera – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
Ivan Herrera has taken a step back with his Barrel% recently; his 8.3% seasonal rate has dropped off to 0% over the last week.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
The St. Louis Cardinals have 3 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Pedro Pages, Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
