The Cardinals have jumped ahead of the Brewers atop the NL Central by a half-game on the strength of their 8-2 straight up (SU) run over the last 10 games.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, is 4-6 SU in the last 10, but, the Brew Crew won both of an interleague home back-to-back with the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday-Wednesday.
