Cardinals have grown quite comfortable playing at Miller Park
With three games at Miller Park in the next three days, the St. Louis Cardinals are entering territory where they've enjoyed considerable success over the last three years.
Since the start of 2013, the Cardinals are 19-7 in road games against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals have outscored the Brewers 139-95 over that span while hitting more than twice as many home runs as Milwaukee (36-15).
HIGHEST ROAD WIN PERCENTAGE VS. ANY OWN DIVISION OPPONENT SINCE 2013
| Team | Opponent | Record (win percentage) |
| New York Mets | Philadelphia Phillies | 20-6 (.769) |
| St. Louis Cardinals |
Milwaukee Brewers | 19-7 (.731) |
| Detroit Tigers | Cleveland Indians | 21-8 (.724) |
| Atlanta Braves | Miami Marlins | 18-7 (.720) |
| San Francisco Giants | Arizona Diamondbacks | 20-8 (.714) |
Despite that home-run edge over Milwaukee, the Cardinals are looking to become the fourth team since 1920 to lead Major League Baseball in win percentage despite finishing in the bottom five in home runs. Of the three teams that have already done it, two were the Cardinals -- and all three went to the World Series and lost.

Cardinals rookie Stephen Piscotty has played in just 49 career MLB games but has already totaled 60 hits and 30 RBIs, putting him in some rather select company.
