The Brewers are 17-10 at home so far this season, and they have won three straight games overall. Milwaukee is starting Peralta, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Boston is going with Bello, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings. Both of these pitchers have been very solid, but Bello doesn’t go very deep into games, and the Red Sox offense has disappeared. Take the Brewers here.
