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 83-51 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL Central with the best record in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 45-24 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 66-68 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AL West. They have been a bad road team though with their 30-39 road record this year. The Rangers continue to stay in their division race, but they are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and haven't looked great lately. They just lost a series to the White Sox and have looked a lot worse on the road this year while the Brewers have the best home record in the league and have been rolling lately, now 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Brewers are going with Drohan in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 6-5 with a 3.84 ERA and hasn't been giving up a lot of runs in this rookie year. He is coming off another good start giving up 2 earned runs which has been a common theme for him lately and the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too. The Rangers are going with Quantrill in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 6-4 with a 2.90 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He gave up no runs in his last start and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but their bullpen hasn't looked great lately and that will be an issue. They have been giving up a ton of runs lately while the Brewers have one of the best bullpens in the league, and the Brewers also have the stronger offense to lean on. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.

“Again, it starts with starting pitching. I've said since day one that the health and production of our starting pitching was going to carry us. We acquired Gore and we knew we had deGrom and [Nathan Eovaldi]. We felt pretty good about it. These last two starts were not what they wanted; not what we were thinking was going to happen after winning the first game here. That's not what we thought we're going to get. I don't think they would tell you [they expected] that either.” - Skip Schumaker after his team’s loss against the White Sox in their game on Wednesday.

"I think you've got to recognize that he was on point without his best stuff. He was slipping and sliding on the mound with both feet, and he still sucked it up. He wanted to go out for the sixth. We gave him the option and he said, ‘No, I want to pitch. It's the top of the order, I want to pitch.’” - Pat Murphy on Jacob Misiorowski after his team’s win against the Mets in their game on Thursday.
