Texas Rangers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. Shane Drohan’s not my favorite option for Milwaukee and Cal Quantrill’s been serviceable for Texas, but the problem here is that the Rangers are just playing themselves out of the playoffs right now with them faltering at the wrong time, and Milwaukee just once again looks like they’ve found another gear to take their play to the next level. I think this is a big spot for the Brewers to take care of business once again, so give me Milwaukee in this one.
