Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Preview
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers have risen to the top of the MLB standings in the National League thanks to some solid pitching, allowing just seven runs total in their last four wins. Left-hander Wade Miley will try to keep that going, as he’ll make his second start of the season. Miley got the win in his first outing of 2023, throwing six shutout innings against the New York Mets on Tuesday, striking out three and walking none.
Third baseman Brian Anderson is among the leaders in MLB player stats for batting average, tying for 14th in the majors with a .370 batting average. That’s even after he went a combined 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over the last two games against St. Louis. Anderson does have three home runs, 10 RBIs, eight runs scored and seven walks.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks record has surprised some, especially because of who they’ve been beating. The team’s winning mark through 10 games has come solely against the Dodgers and Padres, the favorites in the NL West.
The Arizona offense was clicking over the weekend, averaging 9.6 runs in the three wins against Los Angeles. Third baseman Josh Rojas set the table with a pair of three-hit games from the leadoff spot, scoring four runs in those contests. He’s batting .417 with four RBIs and three doubles this season.
Right-hander Zac Gallen will take the mound for the Diamondbacks on Monday, as he looks to bounce back from a pair of rough outings. Gallen is 0-1 with a 7.59 ERA and has allowed five runs in each of his starts in 2023. He went six innings against the Padres on Tuesday, giving up seven hits, including a pair of home runs.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Picks
The Brewers vs Diamondbacks odds are favoring the home team. The MLB injury report shouldn’t have any factor on this game, as both teams have quite healthy lineups.
This is one of the MLB games that is difficult to pick, but we like the Brewers to come out on top in this one.
Gallen has struggled to keep teams in check this season, so we like Milwaukee to get some runs on the board early and pick up the series-opening victory.
