Milwaukee Brewers vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction: Brewers to prove better in Game 2

After a tough series with St. Louis, Milwaukee expectedly lost the first game against Toronto. Will the Brewers be able to get revenge in game two? We'll pick a few bets at once.

Milwaukee gave up game 1 of the series in the early innings

Craig Counsell's team was apparently too exhausted by the most crucial divisional series with St. Louis that they simply did not have enough energy for the first game of the series with Toronto. The game's outcome was already decided in the 2nd inning when the Brewers allowed five unanswered runs. As a result, it was a 4-9 game. Adam Houser got the pitcher's loss with five runs scored in 6 complete innings.

Starting on the mound for Milwaukee in the second series game with Toronto will be last year's Cy Young Corbin Burnes, 5-4, and a 2.31 ERA in 14 games this season.

Toronto couldn't lose game one

Ahead of the series in Milwaukee, Charlie Montoyo's team had a disappointing trip to Chicago to face the White Sox, where they lost two of three games to a troubled opponent. So the victory over the Brewers in the first game was important for Toronto, also from a psychological point of view. The Canadian team achieved it brilliantly. 9-4 – Matt Chapman had 3 RBI, and Alejandro Kirk had 2 RBI. Alek Manoah pitched the game winning, allowing only 2 runs in 6.2 innings.

Yusei Kikuchi, 2-3 and 4.94 ERA in 13 starts, is Toronto's starting pitcher for game two of the series with Milwaukee.

Expert Betting Tips

Milwaukee gave away the first game of the series to Toronto without much of a fight. This was by no means unexpected, considering how demanding and principled the series had been before, where the Brewers were battling their main rival to win the division, the St. Louis Cardinals. In the second game against the Blue Jays, Milwaukee will definitely be different and will surely get the win. All the more reason for the Brewers to have Corbin Burnes, one of the best pitchers of the day, on the mound.

Prediction: Milwaukee will win.
