Blue Jays vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Blue Jays and are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Milwaukee.

In this Blue Jays vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -130 home favorites. The Brewers finally snapped their six-game losing streak but are putting Sproat on the mound who was torched in his first start of the season. On the flip side, Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the Jays and he continued where he left off last season, giving up four runs in his first start and he has been historically much weaker on the road. The Brewers have a better bullpen ERA and a better offense and I expect them to get the job done in this one.
