Brewers vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are fighting for a playoff spot, so the plus money is worth a look. The problem is I don’t like pitchers with small sample sizes, and Bradford has just 20.2 innings under his belt. Henderson is more trustworthy through 69.1 innings with a 2.60 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. Henderson has allowed just 7 earned runs in his last 31 innings, and he has a 2.25 ERA and a .200 allowed batting average at home. Also, the Brewers are one of the best teams in baseball that’s been even better at home, and you don’t want to make a habit of betting against them. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
