Oakland Athletics vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
The Oakland Athletics are worth considering when Joey Estes is pitching the way eh is this month and at home. The problem is, the Athletics haven’t been able to score runs this week. While Frankie Montas is hit or miss, the Brewers are comfortably the better team, and they should take advantage of games like this last they close in on a division crown and the best record in baseball. Plenty to play here for the Brewers while the Athletics continue to run out cold bats and count the days until the end of the season. Give me the Brewers and the cheap price.
