Athletics vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The Athletics and Brewers are both known for their offense and not so much for the pitching, but these are two of the strong pitchers on both teams. Ginn was good in his one start this season and Peralta has also been good. In his last start he gave up only two runs and he’s going to give up even less than that here. The A’s aren't going to be able to lean on the long ball against him,  and this game is going to end up staying under the total. Back the under.
