Diamondbacks vs Brewers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 81-50 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL Central with the best record in the entire MLB. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 64-67 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 30-35 road record this season. The Brewers haven't looked great lately as they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and have cooled off a lot now from their long win streak, but they will be looking to bounce back at home after losing their series against the Giants there over the weekend. Misiorowski is on the mound for the Brewers in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 4-2 with a 4.19 ERA and he did go through a little rough patch after a really hot start to his career, but he has looked better in his starts lately. He has been giving up less runs again, giving up 3 earned runs in his last start, and the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too. The Diamondbacks are going with Pfaadt in this one and he has looked really up and down this season. He is 12-8 with a 4.95 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs all season. The team has been having success with him lately, winning 3 of their last 4 games with him on the mound, and he also gave up just 2 earned runs in his last start too. That hasn't been a common theme for him this season though and the Brewers do have a really good offense to put up runs. The Diamondbacks also have a great offense this season, but the Brewers have the better pitching matchup with Misiorowski and that gives them the edge at home in a series they will be looking to bounce back in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
