Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m on the under here. I think this is a spot where both starters, despite not being my favorite option in their respective rotations, can do well. Sproat gets a Houston lineup that hasn’t been able to hit righties in the last couple of weeks, and Lambert is still one of the better options in this Houston rotation right now. I’ll side with the under.
