The Milwaukee Brewers (35-31, 19-12 Home) were unbeaten in five consecutive series and experienced their best stretch of the season, winning eight in a row. However, the Brewers lost the most recent series to the San Diego Padres at home. In Sunday’s 1-0 defeat, Freddy Peralta pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing no runs on one hit with three strikeouts and two walks. Rob Zastryzny took the loss.

Brewers vs Braves Prediction
The Braves won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Brewers were better in the last three. Although eight of those ten H2Hs went Over, I am going with Under here, given the starting pitchers. Chris Sale has been lights out recently; he hasn’t allowed more than two runs in nine straight starts and registered a fantastic 1.11 ERA in May. Aaron Civale, on the other hand, still hasn’t recorded a quality start this season, but he did allow only five runs in his last three starts. I don’t think we will have a lot of runs in this one. Go with Under.
