Analyzing Monday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (73-86) and the Milwaukee Brewers (84-75) begin a 3-game set at American Family Field Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead series 3-1

The Diamondbacks haven’t been a pushover down the stretch, giving contenders all they can handle lately. Arizona is a respectable 2-2 across the past 4 games and 5-5 across its last 10, including a split in a 2-game series with the playoff-bound Houston Astros and 2 wins over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers are currently 2 games back of the Philadelphia Phillies for the final wild-card spot in the NL with 3 games remaining. Milwaukee has picked a bad time to go ice cold, losing 5 of the past 7 overall. It currently has just a 4.8% chance of making the postseason.

Diamondbacks at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Diamondbacks 2

Moneyline

The Brewers (-240) still can make the postseason with a little help but they must take care of business tonight. They should be in good shape with arguably their best pitcher going, but you can’t risk almost 2 1/2 times your potential return, no matter how favorable things look.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The BREWERS -1.5 (-103) is a much better value. Despite that the Diamondbacks touched up Woodruff in the desert just over a month ago, he has been untouchable at home. Plus, the stakes are ratcheted up even higher, and Milwaukee should tee off against a southpaw who has basically been serving up batting practice lately.

The Snakes have been an irritant to some lately, but the Brew Crew should ease by them for the comfortable win, keeping hope alive for at least one more day.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (+105) is worth playing, although I’d only go a half-unit on this. Woodruff won’t allow much, although the Brewers should plate plenty of runs against the very giving lefty.

Plus, the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for Arizona, and 4-1 in its last 5 on the road, too. However, you will be going against some strong H2H trends, as the Under is 7-1 in the past 8 meetings between these sides and 10-4 in the previous 14 matchups in Milwaukee.
