Brewers catcher William Contreras had a game-high 3 hits in his team’s 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday night. In that game, the right-handed hitter from Venezuela went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI. For the season, Contreras is batting .285 with 17 homers, 72 RBIs, and an OPS of .826 across 537 plate appearances. William Contreras is hitting .306 with an OPS of 1.137 over the past 15 days, making him an intriguing DFS option on Wednesday.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS Spin
Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar reached base twice in his team’s 3-2 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the lineup, the 26-year-old left-handed hitter went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, and a run scored. Across 272 plate appearances this season, Nootbaar is batting .232 with 8 homers, 24 RBIs, and a .709 OPS. Lars Nootbaar is hitting .375 with an OPS of 1.250 over the past 7 days.

Brewers vs. Cardinals Betting Prediction
St. Louis will be starting 6’6” 200-pound right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson on Wednesday night. The Greenfield, IN native’s numbers are decent this season. Gibson is 7-5 with a 4.26 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, a 2.4 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and an 8.3 K/9. Perhaps, more importantly, Kyle Gibson has been good in his two starts against the Brewers this year.
In those two starts, Gibson went 11 combined innings and only permitted 3 earned runs. The big righty’s stat line against Milwaukee is pretty good: 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, .162 batting average against, and a K/9 of 8.2. The Cardinals have lost 2 games in a row and have dropped 8 of their last 10 contests, but I like St. Louis and Kyle Gibson to halt the Redbirds’ losing streak on Wednesday. I’m taking the Cardinals on the money line at home in this one.
