St. Louis is looking for a clinch party, but Cardinals righty Joe Kelly (9-4, 2.74 ERA) had his last start cut short due to tightness in his calf. Milwaukee wraps up a nice 10-game home stand here, with a winning record the last seven games, while the Cardinals end a long seven-game trip that also saw them out West at Colorado. Brewers righty Wily Peralta is a 10-game winner and has won two of his last three starts. He got some offensive support as the Brewers scored a total of 15 runs in the two victories. In fact, the Brewers are 5-2 in Peralta's last seven starts as a home underdog. Ted Barret is behind home plate, and the home team is 5-0 in Barrett's last five games behind home plate, plus the Brewers are 4-1 in their last five games with Barrett behind home plate, so grab the home dog. Play the Brewers.
