Milwaukee (52-41) has lost nine of their last 10 games and season-high five straight. <\/p>\n
Pitching has been a problem as it was with a seven-run eighth in a 9-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday. <\/p>\n

As a team, the Brewers rank second in runs scored in the National League, and on top of that has only scored two or fewer in six of its last seven contests.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Cardinals (50-43) have won six of their 10 games in the month of July and are seven games above .500, two games behind National League Central-leading Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
After suffering a 9-1 setback to Pittsburgh in the finale of their four-game series Thursday, the Cards will hope they can get a boost from the return of Joe Kelly, who is coming of the 90-day DL and is slated to take the mound on Friday.
\n[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
\nThe right-hander is 1-5 with a 4.17 ERA in nine career games against the Brewers and
\nwent 1-1 with a 0.59 ERA and nine strikeouts in 15.1 innings before suffering a hamstring injury on April 16. He is coming off a strong Triple-A rehab outing with Memphis on Sunday, allowing one run in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\nMilwaukee will counter with Yovani Gallardo who is 5-5 with a 3.45 ERA and has 83 strikeouts in 109.2 innings. <\/p>\n
Gallardo has struggle against St. Louis, and is 1-11 with a 6.34 ERA in 18 career starts against the Cardinals. The righty has to accept a no-decision in Milwaukee’s 5-3 win April 28. He allowed two runs on eight hits in seven innings in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Sunday, following a disastrous outing against Colorado. <\/p>\n

1. Milwaukee CF Carlos Gomez, who homered on Thursday, is 6-for-17 in his career versus Kelly.
\n2. St. Louis 2B Kolten Wong went 6-for-14 with three homers, five runs scored and as many RBIs in his last five games.
\n3. The Brewers recalled prized prospect RHP Jimmy Nelson from Triple-A Nashville to start Saturday’s game and placed LHP Wei-Chung Wang on the disabled list with shoulder tightness.<\/p>\nMatt\u2019s Free Prediction: Brewers \u2013<\/h3>\n
Kelly’s last start came against Milwaukee as he permitted one run on three hits in four innings. As a team, St. Louis is 5-1 in Kelly’s last six starts during game one of a series.<\/p>\n
The Brewers are 2-6 in Gallardo’s last eight starts, so I am going with the Brewers here. <\/p>\n
