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. In a near pick ’em spot, I’m going to side with the home team that’s playing the better baseball. That’s the Brewers. Also, Patrick has been great in his rookie season, allowing 29 hits and 10 runs in 31.1 innings. In 16 innings at home, Patrick has a 1.69 ERA and a .211 allowed batting average. Pick ’em line, the Brewers, is one of the better bets on Tuesday’s MLB card.
