Expert Betting Tips

At home, I'm going to continue rooting for the Milwaukee Brewers. The fact that neither team has anything significant to play for in this game means that a case could be made for the plus money, but the Milwaukee Brewers are the far more trustworthy team in this matchup. I just don't think I'm in a position where I can back the St. Louis Cardinals given how disappointing they've been all year, and finishing the season in the same manner doesn't do much for me. There is no benefit to being unsuccessful, so I'll take the Brewers in this matchup.
