Milwaukee Brewers vs Tampa Bay Rays prediction
Tyler Alexander has had his moments so far this season, but he can get hit and is still kind of working his way into a consistent starting role. The Brewers haven’t lost with Freddy Peralta on the mound this season, and his strikeout numbers have been ridiculous in the month of April. Also, while the Rays won on Monday, I still can’t get over getting swept to the White Sox that easily. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Brewers at home with their ace on the mound.
