Let's dive right into this one. We'll be enjoying this baseball feast at the American Family Field in Milwaukee, not too shabby for both batters and pitchers if I dare say so. The pitcher slicing through the wind in Milwaukee's corner would be Chad Patrick. Having an unhittable season with ERA just below 1 and with only 2 appearances to his name. The Athletics will try their luck with Luis Severino on the mound. A more seasoned lad with 4 appearances, a 4.09 ERA, and a respectable K/9 rate ensuring a few batters will be walking back to the dugout bat in hand.
The Athletics lineup is led by mighty mites Jacob Wilson and Tyler Soderstrom, both packing a punch with their splendid batting averages and decent home run counts. From Milwaukee's lineup, the notorious quartet of Sal Frelick, Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio, and Christian Yelich are suiting up. Yelich seems to be struggling this season but you can never write off a player of his quality.
Looking at the recent history books, the Milwaukee Brewers seem to hold a slight edge against the Athletics, whether the playing field was sectioned by the city line of Oakland or Milwaukee. That said, the Athletics' recent performance shows they can hit for power, though their record still teeters just below the .500 mark. The Brewers, on the other hand, have shown resilience maintaining a slightly more reputable record of 10-9 in spite of a blip against Detroit.
So, here's the million-dollar question - where should you put your money for this game? My crystal ball has been dreadfully inconsistent lately, but I'd have to give the Brewers the thumbs up on this one.
