Thie Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Guaranteed Rate Field. 

Woodruff Needs to be Great

On the mound for the Brewers will be Brandon Woodruff who sits with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 1.65. Woodruff is making his second start since April and in his last start he wasn’t awful. In his last start against the Pittsburgh Pirates he went five innings giving up four hits and two runs. He didn’t get any run support and led to the 4-1 defeat. The Brewers are averaging 4.28 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.28 runs per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in the league and Woodruff probably won’t get a whole lot of run support again here. 

Brewers Betting Trends

  • The Brewers have lost four of their last five games as favorites against American League opponents.
  • The Brewers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six night games following a win.

This White Sox’s team has been a big disappointment this season but they were able to win two of three games against the New York Yankees in the last series. On Wednesday, the White Sox scored nine runs and that was enough to secure the win. Oscar Colas had a strong game hitting a home run. The White Sox’s offense and pitching are both ranked 25th. On the mound for the White Sox will be Jesse Scholtens who sits with a 1-4 record and an ERA of 3.06. In his last start against the Cleveland Guardians he went six innings giving up six hits and two runs.

Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be lower scoring. I expect Woodruff is going to be lights out here, and the WHite Sox are going to really struggle to get any tope of offense going here. The Brewers offense has been an issue heading into this game, and that is going to be the difference here as this game is lower scoring. There will only be three or four runs scored, and this game is going to stay under the total.
