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.
