Brewers vs Guardians Prediction 

Cleveland was able to get two big wins over the Tigers in their last series, but they have scored three runs or fewer in three of their last four. The Guardians are 20-16 on the road this year, while the Brewers are 23-14 at home. Milwaukee has won two of their last three games and they have scored 6+ runs in three of their last five. The Brewers are starting Gasser, who has allowed 6, 1, 4, and 2 earned runs in his last four starts, while Cecconi has allowed 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2 earned runs in his last five. I don’t trust either starter in this game, but Cleveland’s offense is not great. Take the Brewers here.
