Randy Wolf looks to stay undefeated as a Brewer. <\/p>\n<p>Chris Carpenter (1-0, 3.00 ERA)<br \/>\nRandy Wolf (1-0, 5.40 ERA) <\/p>\n<p>Randy Wolf did in his first start what the Brewers hope he can do all season: eat innings, strike out a decent number of hitters, avoid walking batters and survive the odd long ball, as Wolf does allow plenty of those. His ability to avoid gopher balls gets a major test Sunday night, as the lefty faces right-handed power hitters Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday. <\/p>\n<p>While Pujols hasn\u2019t gone yard off Wolf in 17 plate appearances against him all-time, Holliday bats .313 with a homer and six RBI in 18 matchups against Wolf. <\/p>\n<p>Chris Carpenter is a relatively human 4-3 with a 3.73 ERA in his career against the Brewers but it\u2019s worth noting that he\u2019s done a great job suppressing Milwaukee\u2019s power, allowing just two homers in 60.1 career innings against the Brew Crew. In fact, Ryan Braun is hitless in six at-bats against Carpenter in his career. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ylmDxc4XxdMQaZ0sgTMZpgG\/1\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow\">  <img decoding=\"async\" img class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/baseball\/sportsbook_baseball_250x250_mybanner.gif\" width=\"\" height=\"\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" style=\"width:auto; height:auto;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Cards should, however, pitch around the ticking time bomb that is Prince Fielder. <\/p>\n<p>The big bopper, fresh off a 46-homer season, was still looking for his first long ball through Thursday night\u2019s games. He\u2019s a .364 career hitter against Carpenter and is one of the only active Brewers to go yard off him in his career. <\/p>\n<p>In the end, I like St. Louis to slip past Milwaukee on Sunday night. Carpenter was actually better away from home last season and no Brewer besides Fielder has a good track record against him. Wolf, on the other hand, could be in trouble if he leaves balls hanging against St. Louis\u2019 right-handed power. <\/p>\n<p>Pick the defending division champs. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee is 5-11 SU in its last 16 games when playing St. Louis<br \/>\nMilwaukee is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing at home against St. Louis<br \/>\nSt. Louis is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Milwaukee<br \/>\nSt. Louis is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games<br \/>\nSt. Louis is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road<br \/>\nSt. Louis is 11-5 SU in its last 16 games when playing Milwaukee<br \/>\nMilwaukee is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Cardinals vs. Brewers MLB Pick:<\/strong> St. Louis<\/p>\n<p>ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Prediction (Shea Matthews\u2019 record: 1-0)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baseball &#8211; Sunday Night Contest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get paid to watch TV?
