The Milwaukee Brewers will conclude their three-game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks this Wednesday in Phoenix from Chase Field. Milwaukee used a big seventh inning to prevail with a six-run victory, 7-1.

Brewers Betting Pick

Milwaukee is 8-3 after the win over St. Louis. The Brewers controlled the game throughout, and pulled away late to win their sixth in a row. The Milwaukee offense is 5.03 scoring runs per game, while batting .260, with a .350 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 2.51 ERA, with a 1.13 WHIP. Jesse Winker (7 RBI) has recorded a hit in six of the last seven games, while Garrett Mitchell leads the team in batting average (.324) after producing four multi-hit games already.

Janson Junk will take the mound for Milwaukee. The third-year pitcher will be looking for a fresh start after flaming out in Los Angeles with the Angels. Junk did manage to strike out eight in his lone start last season.

Diamondbacks Betting Preview

Arizona comes in at 7-5 after taking game three from Los Angeles last night. The Diamondbacks have been a thorn in the Dodgers’ side early on this season, and they’ll look to win a third straight here. The Arizona offense is scoring 4.50 runs per game, while batting .259, with a .306 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.97 ERA, with a 1.42 WHIP. Ketel Marte recorded a hit in seven straight games prior to yesterday, and he leads the DBacks in average (.250).

Drey Jameson (2-0, 2.16 ERA, 8 Ks) will get the bullpen start for Arizona. The second-year pitcher has performed well in his role, allowing just two runs in three outings.

Milwaukee vs Arizona Trends

Milwaukee is 7-4 against the spread this season, with a 4-7 over/under record. Arizona is 8-4 ATS, with a 6-5-1 O/U record.

Corey's Free Pick

Milwaukee’s been a tale of two stories over their last five games, but I like their trip in Phoenix should end on a good note. The pitching switch from Brandon Woodruff to Janson Junk could come back to haunt them, if the Brew Crew comes out with the same energy as they did yesterday, they should be able to tack on a win here. Take a shot on Milwaukee as underdogs here.
