Adames hits three-run homer vs. Cards
Willy Adames went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run against the Cardinals on Monday. Adames’ home run was his 29th of the year. He hit a three-run shot off Andre Pallante in the first inning. He’s been a catalyst for the Brewers and an absolute steal for fantasy managers this season. Adames is 30-for-102 (.294) with 12 home runs and 28 RBI in his last 27 games. He’s hitting .255 with an .812 OPS and 99 RBI on the year.
Goldschmidt intends to continue playing in 2025
Free agent-to-be Paul Goldschmidt said he intends to continue playing in 2025. Goldschmidt’s disappointing season, which almost surely will produce the worst OPS of his career (.712 right now), prompted the question. After all, he is about to turn 37, and he’s unsigned beyond this year. Goldschmidt, though, wants to keep going. He might have to settle for a one-year deal in free agency.

Cardinals vs. Brewers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take Milwaukee. When he’s not hurt (which isn’t often), Matz just isn’t good. He had an okay stretch a year ago for the Cardinals, but then he was promptly injured and had to be shut down again. He hasn’t pitched since April 30 when he allowed four runs on seven hits over 3 1/3 innings versus the Tigers. In his five starts this season, he’s averaged 4 1/3 innings, 6.4 hits allowed and 4.0 runs. Before being shut down for months on end, he had allowed home runs in three straight starts. Fade him and the Cardinals tonight in Milwaukee.
