According to latest MLB trends, the Brewers are just 1-4 in Gallardo’s last five road starts against the Cardinals and 1-7 in his last eight starts versus St. Louis overall. The Brewers are also 2-7 in their last nine games against the Cards, who figure to be hyped up with their return to St. Louis.
