My Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers by 2Well, butter my biscuit, we sure have a spicy matchup here between the Houston Astros and the Milwaukee Brewers. Pay close attention folks, it's going to get real technical.
Starting off with the starting pitchers, we have Ronel Blanco suited up for the Astros, who's boasting a 5.26 ERA, and an 8.5 strikeout per 9 innings - those numbers could use some polishing if you ask me. Not to be done just yet, we have Tobias Myers representing the Brewers with an ERA of 5.14 and 7.7 strikeouts per 9 innings. Makes you wonder if we're watching a baseball game or a charity event.
The Astros are leading the charge with Jeremy Pena and Jake Meyers, both exhibiting to-die-for batting averages. Pena's base stealing makes him the fastest thing since the scam email market, while Meyers could possibly steal second base even with a herd of tortoises. On the Brewers' side, watch out for Brice Turang and Sal Frelick, they've got some impressive stats themselves, especially Turang's knack for running with the ball.
The head-to-head history between these two gives us a bit of a seesaw pattern. Most recently in 2024, the Astros seemed to have been feasting on the Brewers but if we rewind a bit, Brewers got them bang to rights in a series of shutouts in 2023.
Looking at recent form, it's a bit of a mixed grill. The Astros are going through a bit of a rough patch, coming off a couple of losses against Chicago and Detroit. The Brewers, on the other hand, managed to just about break even in their recent games.
Taking it all into account, my tired old crystal ball and I see a neck and neck run with Brewers getting a lucky break due to the shift in wind or the wrong call on a coin toss or something equally random. So, base your pulpwood money on this:
