Brewers vs Red Sox Prediction
Milwaukee was able to barely hang on for the win on Monday night to start this series, and they will look for their third straight win here. The Brewers are 16-10 at home this season, while the Red Sox are 11-15 on the road. Boston has scored a total of four runs in their last three games, and they are definitely missing Bregman, who was recently put on the IL. Boston hasn’t announced their starting pitcher for this game, but Milwaukee is starting Civale, who has allowed seven earned runs and eight hits over 7.0 innings this year. I don’t love Civale on the mound for Milwaukee, but without knowing who Boston is going to start, I will side with the Brewers at home.
