Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. Two teams that are red hot right now, but who do I think is more likely to have sustainable success? For me, that’s the Brewers. Houston’s run hot and cold at times and Kai-Wei Teng hasn’t been the most consistent starting option for Houston. I’ll side with Milwaukee in this one.
