Diamondbacks at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

BET BREWERS ( +110 ).

The Brewers have been terrific with Rea on the mound this season. They are 20-9 in his outings and 11-4 in his apperances at home. Milwaukee’s bats have been hot as of late, scoring 6 of more runs in 3 of its last 6 games.

The Diamondbacks have scored 14 runs in their last 2 games but have put up 2 or fewer in 3 of their last 7. Arizona is just 3-5 in its last 8 road games. Considering those trends, take BREWERS ( +110 ).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS .

There’s no great value on the run line. The Diamondbacks are too risky as favorites here, while the Brewers aren’t worth the expense as run-line underdogs.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 ( -110 ).

The Over went 2-1 in the most recent series between these teams Sept. 13-15. The Diamondbacks have an aggressive offense and have scored 8 or more runs in 3 of their last 7 games. They are 7-5 O/U in their last 12 games.

The Brewers, who are 79-65-9 O/U, have gone 2-3-1 O/U in their last 6 games. They are 3-1 O/U in Rea’s last 4 starts, though. With that in mind, back OVER 8 ( -110 ).
