Brewers vs Tigers Prediction
The Brewers are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Tigers and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Detroit.
In this Brewers vs Tigers Prediction, the Tigers are coming as -135 home favorites. Milwaukee destroyed Detroit in the opening game and are putting Chad Patrick on the mound, who has won all of his three starts this season and has just two earned runs. Mize has also been good for the Tigers, but the Brewers have both a better offense and a better bullpen and have been in better form lately, so I like them as underdogs in this spot. Take the Brewers and the plus money.
