Blue Jays vs Brewers Prediction
I’ve been on the Brewers a lot during this winning stretch, and it hasn’t cooled off yet. I’m going to keep riding it until the tickets stop cashing. It also doesn’t hurt that Woodruff has a 3.10 ERA and 0.87 WHIP on the season, which is just two months, but he’s been dealing in limited frames. Scherzer has found his form lately, allowing 24 hits and nine runs in his last 31 innings, so there’s reason to feel better about him than before. Still, the Brewers have been kind to us all second half. Until that stops, I’ll keep siding with the hot hand.
