The Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Wednesday in MLB action at Chase Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 13 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 9 games. The Brewers are 7-0 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Willy Adames leads the Brewers with 12 hits and 8 RBI, while Garrett Mitchell and Brian Anderson have combined for 21 hits and 16 RBI. Brandon Woodruff gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 0.79 ERA and 12 strikeouts this season. Woodruff is 2-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 41 strikeouts in his career against the Diamondbacks.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 8 games. The Diamondbacks are 4-1 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Ketel Marte leads the Diamondbacks with 11 hits and 2 RBI, while Josh Rojas and Nick Ahmed have combined for 21 hits and 9 RBI. Drey Jameson gets the ball, and he is 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA and 8 strikeouts this season. This will be Jameson’s first career game against the Brewers.
The Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 during game 3 of a series and 8-2 in their last 10 overall. The Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games and 4-1 in their last 5 home games. The under is 4-1 in Brewers last 5 road games. The under is 11-4-1 in Diamondbacks last 16 home games. The Brewers are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona and 18-8 in the last 26 meetings.
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to swing the bats nicely, and they have a clear pitching edge on the mound here as well. Drey Jameson is off to a great start this season, but he has just 4 career MLB starts, so I’d like to see a larger sample size. Bottom line is, the Brewers are too hot right now to step in front of reasonable juice. Give me the road team on the quick turnaround.
