The Milwaukee Brewers will play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the middle game of a three game series. The Diamondbacks won the opening game of the series with the help of a bunch of early runs on Brewers ace Corbin Burnes. The win for the Diamondbacks pushed them to 43-29 on the season. The Diamondbacks are in first place in the National League West.
Milwaukee fell to 37-35 on the season. The Brewers are right in the middle of a log jam atop the National League Central, where four teams are within four games of each other. The Milwaukee Brewers are small favorites in this game on Tuesday. You can find the Brewers at -118, with a total of 9.
Arizona Looking to Keep Rolling
The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking to keep the bats going. The big blow in the Monday win was the home run by Alex Thomas. After coming back to the big leagues, it was his third home run of the season. It was his first game in Major League Baseball since May 16th when he played at Oakland.
The Diamondbacks are one of the top-scoring teams in all of Major League Baseball. Arizona is scoring 5.1 runs per game, and picking up nearly 9 hits per game. If the pitching starts to improve, even a little bit, this will be a dangerous team. Arizona is allowing 4.8 runs per game, and opponents are hitting .256.
Ryne Nelson gets the start for the Diamondbacks in this one. The 25-year-old from Las Vegas is 3-4 on the season, with a 5.30 earned run average. Nelson has struck out 46 batters, while pitching 71.1 innings. In his last start, he lasted just 4 innings, and allowed 10 hits and 5 runs against the Phillies.
Milwaukee Seeking Consistency
The Brewers are a team that just cannot get things going the right way and stay the right way. Despite being in a race for the divisional title as we enter the end of June, the Brewers are near the bottom in all offensive categories. The pitching for Milwaukee has been decent, allowing just 4.3 runs per game.
Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich leads the team in batting average, while Rowdy Telez is the top home run hitter, with 12. Brian Anderson is the top runs batted in guy for Milwaukee, as he has 34 on the season.
Colin Rea will take the ball for the Brewers on Tuesday. The 32 year old from Iowa is 3-4 on the season, with a 4.71 earned run average. In his last start, Rea lost at the Twins, allowing 4 runs over 5 innings.
Brewers Even the Series
Look for the Brewers to be hungry to get back in the win column. The Diamondbacks are an offense that can get hot and stay hot. So, Colin Rea will need to be on his game here. Look for both teams to score a bunch of runs, going over the total. In the end, betting the Milwaukee Brewers is the way to go. Take Milwaukee -118 over Arizona.
