At the onset of the season, not much was expected from the St. Louis Cardinals. Rookie manager Oliver Marmol is the youngest skipper in baseball. And that was considered a potential weakness with the baseball betting odds. St. Louis was a major disappointment in the 2021 campaign. Thus, the managerial change was a sign that the Redbirds would retool in 2022. Milwaukee opened as the favorite in the National League Central. Following a horrible slump, the Brewers have fought back into the race. Milwaukee and St. Louis are in a battle for the division lead.
