Detroit Tigers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The Detroit Tigers and plus money is worth a look, given they’ve been able to tread water through 63 games. However, the Tigers aren’t stringing together offense this week, and now they’re facing an above average pitcher in Freddy Peralta. The Milwaukee Brewers are also one of the more consistent teams in the NL, and they should be able to have success against a hittable pitcher in Casey Mize. Give me the Brewers and of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
