Brewers vs Tigers Prediction
Detroit has had a very nice start to the season in their first 17 games, but they were shut out on Tuesday night and only managed one hit. The Tigers are 10-4 in their last 14 games, but they have scored one run or fewer in two of their last three. Milwaukee snapped a three-game losing streak on Tuesday night, but their pitching staff has allowed at least five runs in three of their last four games. I know Quintana had a very solid first outing for the Brewers, but I don’t really trust either pitcher in this game. Take the over here.
