Marlins-Brewers Betting Preview

Milwaukee dominated the first two games of this series, winning 12-0 on Monday and 3-1 on Tuesday. They were favorites with Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta on the mound, both of whom are in great form. The Brewers boast strong pitching, which bodes well for their playoff prospects. They covered the run line in both Monday and Tuesday's games, with odds at +145 and +125. With Tuesday's victory, the Brewers have won four of their last five games. Impressively, in the one game they lost, their pitchers held the Yankees hitless until the 11th inning. Sitting at 81-63 overall, the Brewers lead the NL Central by four games over the Cubs, with only 18 games left in the season. On the flip side, Miami is struggling, having lost four of their last six games. At 74-71 overall, the Marlins trail the Diamondbacks by a game and a half in the race for the final National League wild-card spot.

Wednesday's Pitching Match-Up

Trevor Megill is stepping into his first start this season after 26 appearances in relief. He's been impressive recently, allowing just one run and eight hits in his last 11 2/3 innings, with an outstanding 22 strikeouts and only one walk. Colin Rea, a regular starter, will likely relieve Megill after an inning or two. On the other hand, Braxton Garrett, though only two for his last six on quality starts, is showing improvement. He held the Dodgers to just one run on three hits in his last outing. Over his last six starts, he's given up 10 runs and 28 hits in 32 2/3 innings. Garrett has been a reliable presence for the Marlins this season, with the team posting a strong 19-8 record in games where he starts. In his only career start against Milwaukee, which took place in September of last season, Garrett allowed two runs and seven hits through four innings, leading the Marlins to a 4-2 victory.

Splits With the Sticks

The Marlins are batting .249 against right-handed pitching this season, with a .307 team on-base percentage and a .395 team slugging percentage. The Brewers are slashing .249/.324/.409 against left-handed pitching. It's worth noting that the Brewers recently added former MVP Josh Donaldson, who bats right-handed, and he already made an impact with a home run in Tuesday night's game.

The Bullpens

Milwaukee's bullpen has a 3.68 ERA this season, with a 1.23 WHIP and a solid 2.73 K/BB ratio. Miami's bullpen, on the other hand, has a 4.22 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP, with a 2.60 K/BB ratio.

MLB Betting Trends
