Rangers vs Brewers Prediction
Milwaukee was able to roll over Pittsburgh during their last series, as they scored 19 runs in three games. The Brewers are 43-29 on the road this year, while the Rangers are 44-28 at home. Texas took two out of three against a good Houston team and they are starting Latz, who has allowed two earned runs in back to back starts. Milwaukee is starting Quintana, who has allowed nine earned runs and 12 hits in his last 10.0 innings of work. Texas has been great at home all year and Quintana is having some struggles, so I like the Rangers here.
