I dont think I would be able to pull the trigger on the Brewers today. The thing about this is that I am convinced that Sheets is going through a dead arm right now. He hasnt been injured yet this season, so he has thrown more innings than he did in any of the last 3 seasons. Also, he has had a rough hitsory against the Cardinals. It isnt that he has exactly pitched bad, but the Cardinals have seemed to shut the Brewers down in all of his starts. Wellemeyer has been pitching great, and I dont believe that he has lost in his last eight starts. This is such a crucial game, that I would imagine the scoring to be relatively low. The Brewers struggled with the Cardinals last time these two teams played even though the Brewers won all four and have won the last six. The thing about it though, was that the Cardinals blew 9th inning leads in 3 of the 4 games. I think this game is a total toss-up and obviously the line reflects that also. With Sheets poor history against the Cardinals, and him having a tough time in his last 6 starts, I dont see how making a play on the Brewers would make much sense. I also cant imagine betting a Cardinals team that has shown the ability to blow games they had in hand against this Brewers team. Ill be laying off this one, but good luck to you with whatever you choose.
