Brewers hope lineup helps out Woodruff

The Brewers are having a great season and hope to move to the top of the division by the end of the weekend. Brandon Woodruff will start the upcoming game, and he looks to improve on a rough season as he’s allowed nine runs in 16.2 innings pitched.

Woodruff has struggled but the lineup is one of the best in baseball, scoring 5.06 runs per game. Gary Sanchez has five home runs and 25 total bases while Brice Turang has three homers and 34 total bases but the rest of the lineup has also been great. William Contreras has 30 total bases while Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers have added six home runs and 45 total bases to round out the lineup.

Miami looks for Alcantara and lineup to carry them

The Marlins are having a great season and hope to make a push in a division that looks like it’s up for grabs. Sandy Alcantara will start the upcoming game and he looks to build on what’s been a great season as he’s allowed only 10 runs in 30.1 innings pitched while tossing 22 strikeouts.

Alcantara has been incredible but the lineup has also been a pleasant surprise, scoring 4.63 runs per game. Otto Lopez has 24 total bases while Liam Hicks has four home runs and 30 total bases, and Xavier Edwards has added 34 total bases to add some depth to the lineup.

Brewers vs Marlins Pick

Money Line Pick For Brewers vs Marlins

  • Marlins (-105) (4 units)

The Brewers have plenty of talent to get hot at this point in the season but the Marlins have played great so far, and with one of their best pitchers on the mound, they look to take over this game. The Marlins should constantly drive in runs with Otto Lopez, Liam Hicks, and the rest of the lineup making contact and putting together strong plate appearances. The Marlins should limit the Brewers lineup with Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed only 10 runs in 30.1 innings pitched, tossing multiple scoreless innings to allow the bullpen to close out the game with a comfortable lead. The Marlins should win the game with a strong performance at home.

Take the Marlins money line as home Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Brewers vs Marlins

  • Over 7.5 (5 units)

This is a low total, and with two excellent lineups, this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the first pitch. The Brewers, who average 5.06 runs per game, should constantly plate baserunners with William Contreras, Brice Turang, and the rest of the batting order making contact and putting together strong plate appearances. The Marlins, who average 4.63 goals per game, should run up the score with Otto Lopez, Liam Hicks, Xavier Edwards, and the rest of the batting order swinging for the fences and crushing pitches to easily plate baserunners. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both lineups stepping up.

Take the Over on 7.5 runs
