Pitching Matchup
Miami Marlins - Eury Perez
The right-hander is 5-7 with a 3.78 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP across 85.2 innings. Perez has allowed 64 hits and 13 home runs while recording 95 strikeouts against 34 walks. The right-hander has held opponents to limited hit totals, but Miami has not consistently turned his strong work into wins.
Milwaukee - Robert Gasser

The left-hander has shown solid control, but the home run rate and elevated ERA give Miami a chance to produce more offense than it did in the opener.
Miami Marlins vs Milwaukee Brewers Game Pick
- Milwaukee Brewers
Milwaukee is the play because the Brewers hold the better record, the stronger home mark, and the superior team pitching numbers. The Brewers have a 3.48 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP compared with Miami’s 4.02 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, while Milwaukee has also produced 30 saves against Miami’s 23. Gasser is the weaker starting pitcher in this matchup, but Milwaukee’s bullpen, home record, and deeper run production support another Brewers win.
Miami Marlins vs Milwaukee Brewers Over/Under Pick
- Under
The opener finished with only three runs after 10 innings, and Miami has scored two runs or fewer in four straight games. Perez owns a 3.78 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, while Milwaukee’s pitching staff has held opponents to a .219 batting average. Gasser’s numbers create some risk, but Miami’s recent scoring problems and Milwaukee’s strong bullpen make the under the play.
