The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays face off on Tuesday in an MLB showdown at Tropicana Field. These are both teams who might be fighting for wild card spots, and these are huge games for both teams.
The Rays come into this game with a 40-32 record overall and they are coming off a series sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Rays gave up ten runs in the three games and it’s going to be important that they get good pitching again in this game. The Rays pitching has been good all season giving up 3.79 runs per game which is 5th in the league. Ji-Man Choi is having a big season hitting six home runs and driving in 35 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Brewers who sit with a 42-33 record and they are coming off a win against the Toronto Blue Jays. The offense scored ten runs in the last game and secured the easy victory. The Brewers offense and pitching are both pretty middle of the road, but they still are nine games above .500. Rowdy Tellez has hit 13 home runs and driven in 45 RBIs.
On the mound for the Brewers will be Brandon Woodruff and he sits with a 5-3 record and an ERA of 4.74. In his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals, he went four innings and gave up two hits and two runs. He has given up at least one home run in each of his last five starts.
The Rays are 8-0 in their last eight games against the National League Central. The Brewers are 0-4 in their last four games on Tuesday. The over is 4-0-1 in the Brewers last five games overall. The under is 3-0-1 in the Rays last four games following an off-day.
The long ball has been an issue for Woodruff, and that is something the Rays are going to take advantage of. The Rays offense hasn’t exactly been elite this year, but they are going to hit a few home runs off of Woodruff here. Back the Rays to secure the victory.
