Pirates vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but it doesn’t matter to me. The Pirates have been fade material all season, and a couple of wins don’t change much. The Pirates have won just six games since April 26 and have lost a $100 bettor more than $1,100 this season. Only the Orioles and Rockies have lost bettors more money this season than the Pirates. You should be blindly fading the Pirates. I don’t care who takes the mound for the Brewers. Give me the road team.

Brewers vs Orioles Prediction

Sugano has been solid this season with a 3.08 ERA and 1.03 WHIP, but it doesn’t matter when he pitches for the Orioles. I’ve said for weeks now that the Orioles aren’t a good baseball team, and now they haven’t won a game in 10 days. In two of Sugano’s last three starts, the Orioles didn’t score a single run. The Brewers are putting together a nice week, and Patrick has a 3.35 ERA and 1.28 WHIP on the season. In 28.2 home innings, Patrick has a 2.83 ERA and a .229 allowed batting average. I’m going to continue fading the Orioles, especially when I can get cheap prices like this.

Brewers vs Orioles Prediction 

Baltimore comes into this contest on a lengthy losing streak, and they are in desperate need of a win. The Orioles are just 7-16 on the road this year, while the Brewers are 14-9 at home. Milwaukee has had some struggles early on in the season, but they have won two games in a row. The Brewers are starting Henderson, who has allowed three earned runs and seven hits over 11.0 innings in his two starts. The Orioles are going with Akin as an opener, then will go with McDermott as the bulk pitcher. This Baltimore team is in shambles right now, and we can’t back them until we see improvement. Take the Brewers here.

Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview

The Baltimore Orioles (15-30, 7-15 Away) are playing their worst baseball of the season after losing the last six games.

Isaac Collins and Sal Frelick led the offense with two RBI apiece, while Freddy Peralta got the win after allowing one run on three hits with five strikeouts and two walks across 5.0 innings of work.

This season, the Brewers average 4.21 runs per game (16th in the MLB) on a .228/.305/.343 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Brewers’ staff has a 4.14 ERA (19th) and 1.32 WHIP (20th). Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with a .199 batting average, seven home runs, and 26 RBI this season.

Brewers vs Orioles Prediction

The Brewers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last seven. Even though only two of Milwaukee’s last ten games went Over, I am going with Over in this one because of the pitching matchup. Dean Kremer allowed 16 runs in his last five starts, and I am sure the Brewers will score 3+ runs off him in the opening five innings. Kremer allowed a .321 BA in 28 at-bats against Milwaukee. Quinn Priester posted a couple of strong starts, allowing only a run in each, but surrendered 14 runs in three starts before. I expect both offenses to score multiple runs early on and give us a high-scoring game.

Brewers vs Twins Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the last couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters. It’s hard to expect the Twins to register another shutout game, especially with Zebby Matthews on the mound. Matthews hasn’t started a game this year, and last season, he posted a 6.69 ERA in 37.2 innings. It’s time for the Brewers to shake off their poor hitting form and score multiple runs off Matthews. Freddy Peralta, on the other hand, allowed more than two runs only twice this season, and he allowed a .161 BA in 31 at-bats against the Twins. Back the Brewers to win.

Brewers vs Twins Prediction

The Twins still haven’t lost a game since May 2 and are rolling at the plate and on the mound.

Not much should change with Lopez on the mound, an all-star caliber pitcher who has a 2.77 ERA and 0.97 WHIP on the season. The Brewers have been shut out in three of their last four games, so it doesn’t matter how well Myers is pitching right now. Until the Twins cool off, I’m going to continue backing them, especially with prices this soft. Give me the Twins to keep the ball rolling.

The Brewers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last six. I am backing the Twins in this one because of Joe Ryan, Minnesota’s best starter. Ryan allowed just two runs in his last three starts and kept the opponents to below two runs in six of eight starts this year. Chad Patrick, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in each of his previous five starts, and I think that rookie is going to struggle on Friday. Go with the Twins.

Guardians vs Brewers Prediction

I’m backing the Brewers here. I’m just not a Gavin Williams fan, and I think that the Brewers are still a better team than they’ve been up to this point in the year. Henderson was solid in his MLB debut last time we saw him, and the Guardians have not been hitting all that well against right-handed pitching over the last couple of weeks. I think that Milwaukee can still salvage something from this series, and in the end, I think the value with the Brewers and the plus money is too good for me to pass on. Give me the Brewers.

Guardians vs Brewers Prediction 

Cleveland was able to get a nice win in game one of this series on Monday night, and they have allowed three runs or fewer in three of their last four games. The Guardians are 13-7 at home this year, while the Brewers are just 8-15 on the road. Milwaukee has lost four of its last five games, and its offense is really struggling right now. The Brewers are starting Priester, who has allowed 5+ earned runs in two of his last three starts, and they are 0-4 in the last four games that Priester has pitched. The Guardians are starting Allen, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five games. I don’t love either starting pitcher in this matchup, but I will side with Cleveland at home.

Guardians vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are getting the benefit of the doubt because Peralta is on the mound, and he’s been great with a top-15 ERA and top-25 WHIP, but he also hasn’t pitched in eight days. Pitchers usually on a rhythm and a layoff like that could throw him off. Lively has allowed seven hits and one run in his last 11 innings, and the Guardians have won four straight games with him on the hill. One of the better games on Monday’s MLB card, but I’m going to side with the plus money and the home team. Lively is off to a fine start in the month of May, and the Guardians should be eager to rebound after a no show these last two days against the Phillies.

Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview

The Milwaukee Brewers (19-21, 7-14 Away) won the previous series against the Houston Astros but will lose the current one against the Rays. The only uncertain thing is whether the Brewers will avoid being swept after losing the opening two games. In Saturday’s 3-2 defeat, Tobias Myers pitched for 4.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs on three hits with three strikeouts and three walks. Grant Anderson took the loss.

Tampa Bay Rays Betting Preview

The Tampa Bay Rays (18-21, 11-16 Home) were swept by the Philadelphia Phillies in the previous series and now have an opportunity to record a series sweep with another win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Travis Jankowski led the team in the latest one with two RBI, while Taj Bradley pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Pete Fairbanks was credited with the win.

This season, the Rays average 3.79 runs per game (22nd in the MLB) on a .241/.309/.361 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Rays’ staff has a 3.74 ERA (11th) and 1.19 WHIP (8th). Yandy Diaz leads the Rays with a .244 batting average, six home runs, and 20 RBI this season.

Rays vs Brewers Prediction

The teams traded wins in the last couple of years, each recording five of the previous ten H2H encounters. Both teams played more low-scoring than high-scoring games this season, but I am going with Over in this one because I believe the starters will surrender 3+ runs each. Chad Patrick surrendered three runs in each of his last two starts, while Drew Rasmussen allowed 3+ runs in his previous three starts. Go with Over.

Rays vs Brewers Prediction 

Tampa Bay was able to snap their small losing streak with the win in game one on Friday night, but they are just 10-16 at home this year. The Rays have allowed at least seven runs in three of their last four games, but they are starting Bradley, who has allowed two earned runs in each of his last two starts. Milwaukee is 7-13 on the road this season and they are going with Myers, who has allowed quite a few baserunners, but has done a decent job of limiting runs. I think we are going to see another lower scoring game, so I like the under once again here.

Rays vs Brewers Prediction

The Rays are free-falling with losses in seven of their last nine games, and an extra innings loss last night doesn’t help the confidence. Littell has had moments this season, but he’s been hittable overall, allowing 37 hits and 21 runs in 41 innings, while allowing 10 home runs. Quintana is coming off a rough performance against the Cubs, but he’s been sharp overall, giving up 26 hits and nine runs in 28.2 innings. Quintana has been at his best on the road, where he has a 1.00 ERA and .234 allowed batting average in 18 innings. The fact that this game is a pick ’em price with the way the Rays are playing is strange. Give me the Brewers.

Brewers vs Astros Prediction

The Astros are back to playing sloppy ball, as they’ve now lost five of their last six games. Valdez hasn’t been great, allowing 33 hits and 20 runs in his last 34 innings. Valdez has struggled the most on the road, where he has a 5.09 ERA and .247 allowed batting average in 23 innings. Priester has been a mess as well, allowing 25 hits and 15 runs in 23.1 innings, and he has 16 walks with 17 strikeouts. Still, the Brewers are playing the better baseball this week, and getting them in the underdog role to fade the slumping Astros has value. Bad pitching matchup, but give me the home team and the more favorable price.

Brewers vs Astros Prediction

The Astros are having a rough week, and while Wesneski has been respectable this season, it’s hard to get behind them unless the price is worth it.

Pick ’em line, the Brewers, is one of the better bets on Tuesday’s MLB card.

Brewers vs Astros Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the last couple of years, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H duels. Seven of Houston’s last ten games went Over, and I am going with another Over in this one because of the pitching matchup. Ronel Blanco allowed multiple runs in all but one start this year. Tobias Myers is more of a reliever than a starter, but Milwaukee has numerous starters on IL at the moment, so Myers will open the game on Monday. I am backing the Astros to score multiple runs off him. Back the Over.

Peralta is also familiar with the Cubs, and he’s holding current hitters to a .171 allowed batting average and 42 strikeouts in 117 at-bats.

Brewers vs Cubs Prediction

The Brewers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters. Although they lost the last two games without scoring a single run, I am backing the Brewers here because they are starting Jose Quintana, who is rejuvenated this year and is pitching extremely well. Quintana didn’t allow more than a run in four starts this season. He shut the Cubs out in his last start against Chicago, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens again on Saturday. Jameson Taillon posted a 2.49 ERA in four starts (25.1 innings) against Milwaukee last year. We will have a tight clash here, but I am giving a slight advantage to the Brewers.

The Cubs have been strong out of the gate so far, and I think they keep it going here. Give me the Cubs.

White Sox vs Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers in this one. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in a lot of spots, but for me, this spot isn’t one of them. I thought that the Brewers’ best shot at a win in this series was with Shane Smith on the mound on Wednesday, and they fell short. I think Milwaukee’s just the better team, and Patrick is a solid option; the bats have just fallen flat behind him at times. I think the Brewers complete the sweep, so give me Milwaukee here.
