Things are heating up in the two-team race between the surprising Milwaukee Brewers and the favored St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central. These two division foes have a combined 15-5 record in their last 10 games with the Brewers (43-29) holding onto a 3.5 game lead over St. Louis (39-32).The Cardinals’ 5-2 victory over the New York Mets as 173 home favorites this past Tuesday extended their current winning streak to five games.

The San Francisco Giants (43-28) are tied with Oakland for the best overall record in the Majors, but their lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers (39-34) in the NL West is down to five games in the midst of a four-game skid. The Giants were swept by Colorado in a three-game series at home this past weekend and they dropped the first of a quick two-game interleague matchup against the Chicago White Sox with an 8-2 loss on Tuesday as slight 116 road favorites.
