My Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers by 2Alright, sports fans, let's break down this showdown between Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers like a geometry equation - piece by piece, and savory as a stale bagel.
We're at the American Family Field in Milwaukee, where hitters curse and pitchers throw prayer beads in the air for the neutral 100 Park Factor. Average, absolutely average, just like how you sign off your work emails with 'Regards'.
In terms of hurling duties, our dear comrade, the deceptive Keider Montero, will take the mound for the Tigers. Last season, he held a 4.875 ERA with 19 appearances but notably turned ice cold during the playoffs, with an ERA of 0.000. It's just a number, right folks? Cold as a cucumber salad at a vegetarian brunch.
Gracing the opposing pitcher's hill, we have Jose Quintana for Brewers. His last regular season saw 31 appearances with 3.852 ERA, which whittled down to 3.191 during playoffs. Not bad, not bad.
In the batting department, the Tigers count on people like Gleyber Torres, Dillon Dingler, and Spencer Torkelson. That guy Torres is burning up the bases with a .364 batting average. Milwaukee, on its part, is not twiddling thumbs with Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, and Jackson Chourio. Chourio, don't forget that chappie, with his .275 batting average and 17 ribbies.
Looking at hen scratches from their past matchups, the plays have been more unpredictable than my nephew's mood swings. Our last one saw Brewers roasting the Tigers 5-0. Seems like home-field advantage does the trick, but seeing the Tigers' winning season record of 10-7 overshadows the Brewers' 9-9, that might just be another theory, unsolved.
When it comes to recent performances, Detroit seemed to have mixed fortunes with a recent loss to Brewers yet dominating previous games against the Twins. The Brewers, too, seem unpredictable, having a couple of recent stumbles against Arizona.
All that.txt aside, my money (not that I'm betting, obviously) would probably rest on the Brewers. Playing at home always tips the scale a smidgen, and while that scale might be a rusty, old thing, it probably won’t lie this time. But who knows because the game, like your ex’s new partner’s exotic pet, is utterly unpredictable.
So here it is, in black and white:
