Brewers vs Braves Expert MLB Pick
Milwaukee Brewers Preview
The Brewers sit atop the NL Central with a solid 5.5-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and MLB's third-best run differential (+115). They have a 45-28 record, but have won 27 of 40 games since Jackson Chourio's return on May 4.
The Brewers entered this season with several question marks, yet have witnessed multiple players develop into potential All-Stars across their rotation, bullpen and offense.
Aside from obvious studs like Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio and William Contreras, there are several significant contributors. Most notably, NL Cy Young candidate Jacob Misiorowski.
Furthermore, Jake Bauers and Kyle Harrison have broken out, while Aaron Ashby and Brice Turang have taken another step forward in their development.
This Brewers team still has holes, specifically in its back-end rotation. Logan Henderson and Brandon Woodruff are expected back by next month, but there are questions as to their reliability.
Ideally, at least one of them can return in form to fortify their eventual playoff rotation. This leaves the offense as their biggest need by the trade deadline.
Milwaukee's top hitters are performing, but they struggle with the bottom third. A quality bat or two that they can at least platoon would make this roster much more frightening.
Atlanta Braves Preview
The Braves and their fans are having their heartstrings pulled weekly. When one player finally returns, they lose another.
Between Ronald Acuna Jr, Drake Baldwin, Michael Harris II and Spencer Strider, the Braves have not been able to enjoy one's return without lamenting a loss elsewhere.
This comes after a Spring in which they lost Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep to injury, then Jurickson Profar for PEDs.
Despite these issues, the Braves still sit atop the NL East rankings with a commanding 7.5-game lead. Unfortunately, their rotation beyond today's starter, Chris Sale, is extremely suspect.
They are witnessing excellent seasons from Martin Perez and Bryce Elder, but both will likely be exposed in the postseason.
If the Braves want any chance of postseason success, they will need several moves for their rotation, a rebound from Austin Riley and Ronald Acuna Jr. to sustain full strength. That is a lot to ask at the moment. At least they have a bullpen that could contend?
How To Bet My Brewers vs Braves Pick, Best Bet
Sale takes the mound for the Braves today after being pushed back one day. He has an excellent 2.30 ERA this season, with an even better 1.26 ERA at home!
However, his peripheral stats are worse at home than on the road. He has a lower strikeout rate and higher walk rate, while his xFIP is almost a full run higher.
Sale is also a much worse pitcher against right-handed hitters this season. His walk rate against righties (7.1%) is nearly double his walk rate against lefties (3.8%).
Meanwhile, the Brewers are one of the best teams in baseball at taking walks against LHP. They rank third thus far with a 10.7% rate, despite ranking 18th in wRC+ against LHP.
This disparity could be used to our advantage today. Milwaukee is a heavy platoon team and will likely stack mediocre right-handed hitters with good plate discipline at the bottom of their order.
Their offense has cooled down overall throughout the past two weeks, and they could be in for a long outing from Sale, who has allowed Over 1.5 BB in five of his past eight starts. He has hit the over in all three home starts within this span.
Pick: Chris Sale Over 1.5 BB (-110, bet365)
