The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 45-27 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL Central with one of the best records in MLB. They have been a great road team too with their 20-12 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Braves have looked great in their games this season with their 46-27 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with one of the best records in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 22-13 home record this season. The Brewers have looked great all season with one of the best records in the league and they are 6-4 in their last 10 games too. Their offense has been getting really hot over the last month too while the Braves have been on the decline, now 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Braves are going with Sale in this one and he has been their ace this season. He is 8-5 with a 2.30 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year, but lately the team has been having trouble. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start, but the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting and they are also off a series in which they got swept by the Giants, one of the worst teams in MLB at the moment. The Brewers are going with Harrison in this one and he has been one of their best this season. He is 8-1 with a 2.47 ERA and his team has been having a ton of success with him lately. They have won 10 games in a row now with him starting and he is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs, something that has been a common theme for him. Both of these starters are going to pitch well here, but this Brewers offense has been a lot better lately and they will be able to edge out this Braves team that has been slipping into a slump. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.

"They’re guys that don't pitch a lot. The walks are frustrating. You give up four runs, it’s not so bad when you’re missing your [top] guys in your 'pen." - Pat Murphy after his team’s loss against the Guardians in their game on Thursday.

“There’s no secret sauce or anything to get guys through their struggles. I mean, he works every day. We’ve had multiple conversations, and he’s just trying to find his way. It’s been a struggle for him. I’m sure he’s more frustrated than anybody. But I’m going to continue to mix and match and see if he can find his way. You know, the other guys are going to get opportunities, too. That’s all we can do.” - Walt Weiss on the concerns surrounding Ha-Seong Kim.
