Athletics vs Brewers Prediction
This should be a fun series in Las Vegas, and there should be excitement in the air. However, I’m rolling with the Brewers and the reasonable price. One, the Brewers are the better, more consistent team. Two, Harrison has been ridiculous this season with a 1.57 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. In his last 33.2 innings, Harrison has allowed 26 hits and 4 runs. Harrison has a 1.69 ERA and .211 allowed batting average in 21.1 road innings. The Brewers have also won 8 straight games Harrison has been on the mound. I’m not stepping in front of that. Give me the Brewers.
