Expert Betting Tips

The Milwaukee Brewers, with odds like these, are a hazardous bet, to say the least, given their hit-or-miss ability. On the other hand, they are playing at home, they have a quick turnaround, and they have an obvious pitching advantage. This year has been a disaster for Chris Flexen on the mound, as seen by his 7.82 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through 50.2 innings pitched. Because of his 4.19 ERA and 1.52 WHIP through 73 innings pitched, Adrian Houser is by far the more reliable of the two pitchers. At home, Houser has an earned-run average of 3.67. As a result, I am putting my faith in the Milwaukee Brewers to secure a victory that will be extremely important to their season.
