Milwaukee Brewers series preview: Home Opener vs St. Louis Cardinals
A complete preview of all three games of the Milwaukee Brewers 2018 opening home series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park.
The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off an impressive season-opening sweep over the San Diego Padres and look to carry that momentum into their first homestand of the season beginning with their three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals lost their first two games at the New York Mets before winning their series finale and enter at 1-2.
This will be the beginning of a huge homestand for the Brewers that sees them face off against the Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. While the cubs are the prohibitive favorite to win the division, it could come down to the Brewers and Cardinals for one of the two Wild Card spots which means these games carry extra weight.
