Braves vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Braves, having won their last two meetings in Milwaukee.

In this Braves vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -125 home favorites. I will keep rolling with the Brewers in this one, as they are facing a Braves team that is just 2-7 in its last 9 games and its offense has fallen off a cliff, scoring just 1.8 runs per game in their last five. On top of that, Mahle has been terrible on the road with a 0-7 record and 6.55 ERA, while the Brewers have insane numbers in their last 5 games, averaging 11.5 runs per game against righties and having a 0.40 bullpen ERA. Drohan might be shaky but his team has been elite. Take the Brewers to win.
