The Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers meet Saturday in MLB action at American Family Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Boston Red Sox have scored 20 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 straight games. The Red Sox are 10-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Alex Verdugo leads the Red Sox with 28 hits and 10 RBI, while Rafael Devers and Justin Turner have combined for 41 hits and 24 RBI. Garrett Whitlock gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 10 strikeouts this season. This will be Whitlock’s second career game against the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The Brewers are 12-0 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Willy Adames leads the Brewers with 19 hits and 12 RBI, while Christian Yelich and William Contreras have combined for 37 hits and 12 RBI. Wade Miley gets the ball, and he is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. Miley is 3-2 with a 5.34 ERA and 21 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 Saturday games and 6-2 in their last 8 overall. The Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Red Sox last 5 overall. The under is 4-0 in Brewers last 4 home games. The Red Sox are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings.
You can make a case for either of these teams that are playing well and swinging a hot bat. However, the Milwaukee Brewers are at home, have been the sharper team overall, and having Wade Miley on the mound doesn’t hurt. Miley is pitching well, and Garrett Whitlock is making just his 12th career start. Give me the Brewers.
