Blue Jays vs Brewers Prediction
These have been two of the best teams in the second half of the season, and the Blue Jays are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home. However, Bieber has just six innings under his belt this season, so I don’t trust the limited sample size this season. Peralta has allowed 10 hits and one run in his last 22 innings. Just CY Young stuff we’re seeing from Peralta right now. We’re also getting plus money with a Brewers team that’s lost just nine games since July 27. Fun series and this is a great pitching matchup. I still want the plus money with the Brewers.
