Milwaukee Brewers Analysis

The Milwaukee Brewers recently played two series out West, winning two of three against the Rockies but losing two of three to the Diamondbacks. They currently hold an 8-8 record, placing them behind the Cubs in the NL Central. In their most recent game, catcher William Contreras hit a first inning home run, but the team still lost 5-2. Contreras, who bats fourth, joined the Brewers in 2023 and hit 23 home runs last season, with three already this season along with 10 RBIs. Jackson Chourio leads in home runs with five as a 21-year old left fielder batting .313 with 17 RBIs. Brice Turang is a strong base runner with 50 steals last season, contributing three home runs and 10 RBIs as the leadoff second baseman. Tyler Alexander, a 30-year old left-hander with a 2.84 ERA, will make his third start and fifth appearance of the season. The Brewers are ranked 24th overall, with a strong offense (ranked 4th) averaging 5.36 runs per game, but a weaker defense (ranked 26th) allowing 5.29 points per game. They are 8-7 overall and most recently lost two out of three games to Detroit.

Skubal's Early Struggles Present Opportunity for Investment as Tigers Look to Secure Victory Against Brewers

Skubal, despite his early struggles resulting in a 1-2 record and a 3.78 ERA, presents a valuable opportunity for investment given his past performance. With an impressive 2.39 ERA over 31 starts last season, it is likely that he will soon return to his previous level of excellence. The Tigers have been performing well overall, with key offensive contributions from Torkelson, Greene, and Carpenter providing the power that was lacking last season. Despite injuries hampering Greene and Carpenter in the past, their return to the lineup has propelled the team to the top of the AL Central. In comparison, the Brewers recently dropped a series in Arizona and rely heavily on the young Chourio for offensive production. Considering these factors, the Tigers are favorably positioned to secure a victory in the upcoming series. It is advisable to place your bet on the Tigers for this game.
