Brewers vs Blue Jays Prediction
The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games this season with their 78-56 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 44-22 home record. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 83-52 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL Central with the best record in the entire MLB. They have also been a good road team this year with their 38-28 road record. Both of these teams have cooled off from the hot streaks they were on, but the Brewers do have the better pitching matchup in this one and they can take advantage of that. Priester is on the mound for the Brewers in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 11-2 with a 3.44 ERA and the team has had a ton of success with him lately. He is coming off another good start in which he gave up 1 earned run and the team has won 15 games in a row now with him starting. The Blue Jays are going with Gausman in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season. He is 8-10 with a 3.87 ERA, but he hasn't looked that great lately. He is coming off a start in which he gave up 4 earned runs which has been a common theme for him lately, and the team has struggled with him too, losing 3 games in a row now with him as the starter. Both offenses have been great this season, but Priester gives the edge to the Brewers in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“You can’t walk people. I think that’s the bottom line. He pitches on the edges, and when he doesn’t get that edge call, it’s going to be a long night.” - Pat Murphy after his team’s loss against the Diamondbacks in their game on Thursday.
“That was loud. That was a pretty electric atmosphere. These guys do not quit. They do not give a [crap] who they’re playing against. They don’t care what the situation is. I love it. They don’t even care if I pinch-hit for them [after] they hit a home run. That was a big win today.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Twins in their game on Wednesday.
