Been looking at this Cardinals-Brewers total for a little while and I'm trying to come up with a reason that this game would go over the total. The UNDER just looks so solid at this point with Santos and Morris matching up
Some of the evidence:
* Despite scoring just 21 runs in their last 8 games, the Cards are 6-2. The reason, they’ve only allowed 14 runs during that span.
* The Brewers have scored a total of 18 runs in Santos’ 9 losses!He is 2-9 with a 3.50 era.
* Since the start of June, Morris is 6-1 with a remarkable 0.81 ERA in seven starts.
* SANTOS is 10-0 UNDER (+10.0 Units) in night games this season. (Team's Record) The average score was SANTOS 2.9, OPPONENT 2.9 - (Rating = 4*)
* ST LOUIS is 17-8 UNDER (+8.0 Units) when the total is 8 to 8.5 this season. The average score was ST LOUIS 4.3, OPPONENT 2.8 - (Rating = 1*) . Cards play low scoring ball in low scoring games.
* Strong Situation: Play Under - Home teams where the total is 8 to 8.5 (ST LOUIS) - allowing 3.8 or less runs/game on the season (NL), after allowing 3 runs or less 2 straight games. (46-20 since 1997.) (69.7%, +24.1 units. Rating = 2*)
Any reason why not?....speak now or forever hold your peace
