Diamondbacks vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers have had road success this season, and Harrison should be a first-time All-Star with his 2.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 77 innings. The Diamondbacks continue to run hot and cold, and Cabrera is a rookie with just 10 career innings under his belt. Those who know I like my pitchers with a sample size. The jury is still out on Cabrera. This price is actually a bit surprising, as you can argue we should be pushing closer to the -200 range. I’ll roll with the Brewers on Friday night behind one of the better starters in the NL this season.
