Milwaukee is 19-7 in their last 26 interleague games and 15-7 in their last 22 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a right-handed starter.
Pick
I’m backing the Brewers on the run line here. I think this is a great get right spot for Freddy Peralta after allowing nine runs in his last two starts combined, and while Michael Lorenzen had a nice bounce back start last time out, I’m not buying into him as this guy is giving up a lot of hard contact and I think he could be due to get hit hard here. Give me the Brew Crew -1.5.
