[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (52-37) and Los Angeles Dodgers (54-35) play Game 2 of their 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is slated for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 1-0

Even a grand slam from 1B Rhys Hoskins was not enough to get the victory Friday night against the Dodgers. Brewers starter RHP Aaron Civale allowed 3 home runs over 5 innings of work. Milwaukee is now 2-3 during their 7-game road trip.

The Dodgers won 8-6 Friday night over the Milwaukee Brewers despite DH Shohei Ohtani going 0-for-5 from the leadoff spot. The story of the night was C Will Smith parking 3 solo home runs and scoring 4 times. Los Angeles also got a 2-run shot from LF Miguel Vargas, who went 2-for-3. The Dodgers are 2-2 on their 6-game homestand.

Brewers at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Freddy Peralta vs. LHP James Paxton

Peralta (6-4, 3.83 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 in 94 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 7-1 victory against the Chicago Cubs Sunday
  • 2024 road splits: 3-3, 3.49 ERA (49 IP, 19 ER), 1.23 WHIP, 11.0 K/9 in 9 starts

Paxton (7-2, 4.28 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 75 2/3 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Dodgers 3

Moneyline.

BET BREWERS (-102).

Despite dropping the openers in this series, I’m confident that the Brewers bounce back Saturday night behind  Peralta. They haven’t lost back-to-back games since June 22. He has started 4 times against the Dodgers in his career allowing a total of 4 ER in 20 innings of work.

Los Angeles is mediocre against right-handed pitchers, playing .500 baseball, but is 17 games over against lefties. The Dodgers are also just 9-9 against the NL Central on the season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’m going to keep my bet to the moneyline in this game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-102).

I already spoke about Peralta’s success against the Dodgers, but he’s also pitching terrific over his last 3 starts (18 IP) allowing a total of 3 ER.

These 2 teams are 2-3-1 against the Over in their last 6 against each other but the Brewers were Under in their 3 previous games before Friday night.

Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (73-57) travel to Wrigley Field to begin a 3-game series against the Chicago Cubs (69-61) on Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Cubs odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 4-3

The Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 10-6 on Sunday, extending their winning streak to 8 games. With Milwaukee’s recent stretch of success, it leads Chicago by 4 games atop the NL Central.

The Cubs secured a 10-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, giving them 7 wins in their last 10 contests. Besides being only 4 games back of Milwaukee, Chicago holds the 2nd Wild-Card spot in the NL.

Brewers at Cubs projected starters

LHP Wade Miley vs. RHP Jameson Taillon

Miley (6-3, 3.18 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 87 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 4 K in a 7-3 home win against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday
  • Road stats: 2-2, 3.03 ERA (38 2/3 IP, 13 ER) in 8 starts
  • Career vs. Cubs: 9-4, 4.01 ERA (101 IP, 45 ER) in 17 starts

Taillon (7-8, 5.60 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 115 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K in a 6-4 road win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday
  • Home stats: 3-5, 5.85 ERA (60 IP, 39 ER) in 12 starts

  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Cubs picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Cubs 5

Moneyline

While the Cubs have looked solid recently, I’ll back the BREWERS (+105) on the road as they look to win their 9th straight. Miley has been slightly better on the road this season, while Taillon has performed worse at home.

Run line/Against the spread

Even though I have the Brewers defeating the Cubs outright, I’ll PASS on their run line in this divisional bout. Wagering on Milwaukee’s spread at nearly -200 odds isn’t advised.

Over/Under

OVER 9 (+100) is the play in this game as Miley doesn’t miss many bats and Taillon has struggled all season. The Brewers have tallied at least 5 runs in 8 consecutive games, while the Cubs have produced at least 5 runs in 7 of their last 9.

The Over is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings this season.

San Diego Padres at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Diego Padres at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (61-69) will close out a 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (72-57) on Sunday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 5-1

The Padres were defeated by the Brewers 5-4 on Saturday despite SS Xander Bogaerts and OF Juan Soto hitting home runs. San Diego has won only 4 of its last 10 contests and is 7 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final NL Wild-Card spot.

The win Saturday extended the Brewers winning streak to 7 games and Milwaukee has now jumped out to a 4-game lead over the Chicago Cubs for 1st place in the NL Central.

Padres at Brewers projected starters

RHP Michael Wacha vs. RHP Adrian Houser

Wacha (10-2, 2.63 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 96 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 7 K in a 6-2 home victory against the Miami Marlins on Monday
  • Road stats: 3-0, 3.23 ERA (39 IP, 14 ER) in 7 starts
  • Career vs. Brewers: 6-1, 3.99 ERA (79 IP, 35 ER) in 15 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Houser (5-4, 4.28 ERA) makes his 17th start and 18th appearance. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 88 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 K in a 6-2 road win over the Texas Rangers last Sunday
  • Home stats: 2-1, 4.12 ERA (39 1/3 IP, 18 ER) in 7 starts and 1 relief appearance.
  • Career vs. Padres: 0-1, 1.86 ERA (29 IP, 6 ER) in 5 starts and 1 relief appearance.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

Even though the Brewers have strung together 7 consecutive wins, I’ll back the PADRES (-120) on Sunday with Wacha taking the mound. Wacha hasn’t given up more than 2 ER in a start since April 26 at the Cubs.

Run line/Against the spread

While the Brewers should keep this game close, go ahead and PASS on the run line in this matchup. Unless you can get Milwaukee’s spread at -160 or better, I wouldn’t advise wagering on the run line.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-115) is the lean as Wacha has been dominant and San Diego’s bats have been quiet recently. Houser has allowed 3 ER or more in 3 of his last 5 starts, but the Padres have produced 4 or fewer runs in 8 of their last 10 games.

Analyzing Thursday’s Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (48-59) open a 4-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (58-51) on Thursday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pirates vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 5-1

The Pirates lost 6-3 to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, which ended a 3-game winning streak. Despite its recent success, Pittsburgh remains in 4th place in the NL Central, 9 1/2 games back of the division-leading Cincinnati Reds.

The Brewers were defeated 3-2 by the Washington Nationals Wednesday as they lost a 2nd straight series. Milwaukee has lost 7 of its last 10 games, but it remains only half a game back of the Reds in the NL Central.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Pirates at Brewers projected starters

RHP Mitch Keller vs. RHP Adrian Houser

Keller (9-7, 3.97 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 through 133 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 8 K in 2-1 home loss vs. Philadelphia Phillies Friday

Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Pirates 3

Moneyline

I’ll side with the BREWERS (-135) in Thursday’s divisional bout despite that they’ve been struggling lately. The Brewers have won 7 of the last 10 meetings between these clubs, including 6 of the last 7.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+150) is a fantastic value as Milwaukee is the superior team. Aside from his last 2 starts against the Braves, Houser has been solid this season despite not inducing many swings and misses.

On the other hand, Keller has been shaky on the mound for the Pirates since the All-Star break.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup with Keller’s recent woes and Houser’s inability to miss bats. Keller has given up a combined 18 earned runs and 6 home runs across 3 starts since the All-Star break.

The Brewers have plated at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 6 games, and the Over is 4-2 in the first 6 meetings between these clubs this season.

Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Braves (63-33) will play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (54-44) Saturday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 1-0

In Friday’s 6-4 victory over the Brewers, 3B Austin Riley hit his 21st home run of the season for the Braves. Atlanta has now won 2 games in a row and is 11 1/2 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for 1st place in the NL East.

Despite losing Friday, SS Willy Adames launched his 17th home run of the season for the Brewers. Friday’s defeat snapped a 2-game winning streak for Milwaukee, though, it is still 1 1/2 games up of the Cincinnati Reds atop the NL Central.

The Braves are expected to activate RHP Allan Winans to make his major-league debut Saturday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Brewers projected starters

RHP Allan Winans vs. RHP Adrian Houser

Winans (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his major-league debut. He has a 7-3 record with a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9, and 7.8 K/9 through 102 2/3 IP in Triple-A this season.

  • Has pitched 6 innings or more in 8 of his last 10 appearances in Triple-A.

Braves at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 7, Brewers 4

Moneyline

Even with Winans making his first start in the majors, the BRAVES (-140) are the best team in baseball. Atlanta now boasts a 31-14 record on the road compared to Milwaukee having a 26-22 record at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

BRAVES -1.5 (+120) is almost an automatic wager for me at the current odds. Atlanta has defeated its opponent by 2 or more runs in each of its last 13 victories.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

With Winans making his debut, and Houser not generating many swings and misses, OVER 9.5 (-105) is the play in this contest. Houser is producing a 43.2% hard-hit rate and the Braves have 7 players with a 42.5% hard-hit rate or higher.

Braves at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Brewers 4

Moneyline

BET BRAVES (-125).

Even with Atlanta going 5-5 in its last 10 contests, the Braves are the best team in baseball. Getting the Braves at the current odds (-125) is a gift despite Soroka drawing the start.

Run line/Against the spread

BRAVES -1.5 (+135) has fantastic value as Atlanta is always capable of running away with games due to its deep lineup. The Braves have won by at least 2 runs in each of their last 12 victories.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9.5 (-110) is how I’d bet on the run total with Soroka and Peralta on the mound in this game. Since the start of July, the Braves boast the best ISO (.241), the 8th-best wOBA (.344), and the 8th-best wRC+ (114) against right-handed pitching.

Brewers at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Pirates 5

Moneyline

While both teams have average pitchers taking the mound, I’ll back the BREWERS (-110) on the road. The Brewers are 48-22 in the last 70 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

The Pirates should keep this game within striking distance with Rea getting the nod for the Brewers. That being said, I’ll PASS on Pittsburgh’s run line in this NL Central bout at the current odds.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-115).

Rea and Hill have been giving up runs in bunches in recent starts, which could lead to quite a few in Sunday’s matchup. Even with the Brewers struggling against lefties this season, they were slightly better against southpaws in June, registering the 16th-best wOBA (.306) and wRC+ (90) against them.

The Pirates are 4-0-1 to the Over in their last 5 overall, and the Over is 26-9-4 in the last 39 meetings in Pittsburgh.

Brewers at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Pirates 4

Moneyline

Even with the Pirates winning 3 straight games, I’ll back the BREWERS (-145) on the road Friday. The Brewers have owned the Pirates in recent season, going 47-21 in the last 68 meetings. Also, the Pirates are 0-9 in their last 9 games against an NL Central foe.

Run line/Against the spread

PIRATES +1.5 (-140) is how I’d bet with how tough it is to trust Peralta on the mound. The Brewers also have the 2nd-worst strikeout rate (27.7%) against right-handed pitching in the month of June.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-115) is the lean with Peralta struggling in recent starts and Bido making just his 4th MLB start. The Over is 3-0-1 in the last 4 home games for the Pirates, and the Over is also 24-9-4 in the past 37 meetings in Pittsburgh.

Brewers at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Mets 3

Moneyline

I’ll back the BREWERS (+120) on the road on Wednesday considering how the Mets have performed recently. Senga’s control concerns could be troublesome against Milwaukee, who is tied for the 9th-best walk rate (9.2%) against right-handed pitching this season.

Run line/Against the spread

Considering that I have the Brewers winning outright, I believe they keep the game close. That being said, I’ll PASS on the run line in this game unless you can get Milwaukee at -160 odds or better.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (+100) is the pick in this matchup despite Senga’s walk issues. The Mets are 4-0 to the Under in Senga’s last 4 starts against an NL Central team.

The Under is also 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings between these teams in New York.

Brewers at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Guardians 3

Moneyline

Alhtough Burnes gave up 7 ER in his last start, he’s pitched better in recent starts compared to the beginning of the season. Provided that, I’ll take the BREWERS (-110) on the road in Sunday’s interleague contest.

Run line/Against the spread

Civale currently owns a 4.05 xERA and a 4.42 xFIP, which suggests he’s due for negative regression. That being said, the Guardians should keep this game close so PASS on betting on the run line.

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (-115) is the lean in this matchup with neither team having much power against right-handed pitchers. The Brewers and the Guardians both have a wRC+ of 88 or lower against right-handed pitching this season.

The Under is also 7-3-2 in the last 12 meetings overall.
