In this article, we will formulate a Diamondbacks vs Brewers Prediction for this MLB game on Friday, April 11th, at Citi Field. Let’s take a look at an Arizona Diamondbacks vs Milwaukee Brewers pick.
Bad Loss for the Brewers
The Brewers couldn’t take advantage of Coors Field on Thursday, and they lost 7-2. The Brewers scored only two runs total, and they ended up losing by five. The bullpen also blew the game with the pitching. Joel Payamps went only 0.2 innings and gave up three hits and five earned runs to the Colorado Rockies. He also had two walks. Two games ago, the offense scored 17 runs, and they need that offense to come back here.
The Brewers are averaging 5.50 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.58 runs per game. The offense is ranked 5th while the pitching is ranked 27th. In this game, if they want to find success, they need the offense to continue the success they have found so far this season.

Can Diamondbacks Keep Building?
The Diamondbacks have won two games in a row, and they suddenly have all kinds of confidence right now. Two games ago, against the Baltimore Orioles, they won 4-3, and in the last game, they secured the 9-0 victory. Josh Naylor had a huge game, finishing with three hits and a home run, and he drove in three RBIs. Brandon Pfaadt had a strong game, going six innings and giving four hits and zero runs. The Diamondbacks have been involved in close games, and even early in the year, they look battle-tested.
The Diamondbacks are averaging 5.54 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 4.54 runs per game. The offense is ranked 4th, and even though the pitching hasn’t been great, when they have found success, it’s usually been because of the offense. Eduardo Rodriguez is going to start for the Diamondbacks, and he sits with a 0-1 record and an ERA of 6.10. Against the Washington Nationals, he went five innings, giving up five hits and four runs.
Diamondbacks vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers’ offense struggled on Thursday, but this is a great bounce-back spot for them. The Diamondbacks send Rodriguez to the mound, and that is bad news for their chances. He currently sits with an ERA of 6.10, and now he has to face off against a Brewers offense that scored 17 points two games ago. The Diamondbacks’ offense is no doubt talented, but they aren’t going to score eight or nine goals, and that’s exactly how many it’s going to take to get the job done with Rodriguez on the mound. Back the Brewers on the money line.
