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.
