Pick

The Brewers dominated the first game in this series and they continue to hold a steady lead in the NL Central race. The Marlins are currently one game out of the last NL Wild Card spot, so each game is super important for them. Milwaukee has been one of the better home teams this season, going 41-28 at home. The Brewers are starting Freddy Peralta, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts. The Marlins are starting JT Chargois, who will operate as an opener. Edward Cabrera is expected to be the primary pitcher. The Brewers have been solid at home, but I am going to take the Marlins in this game. Cabrera was very good against the Dodgers in his last outing and I think we see another solid performance from him here.
