Milwaukee Brewers vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Milwaukee comes into this game looking for the series sweep and they have been one of the better teams in baseball this season. The Brewers are 24-12 at home, while Texas is just 17-23 on the road. The Rangers came into this series on a winning streak and they finally had some momentum, but they have only averaged two runs per game in the series. The Rangers are starting Eovaldi, who has been very good this season. The Brewers are going with Kuechel, who is a huge unknown right now. I think Texas has a pretty big advantage with Eovaldi on the mound, but Milwaukee has been fantastic at home and we are getting them at a decent price. My Milwaukee Brewers vs Texas Rangers prediction is for the Brewers to win.
