Milwaukee Brewers vs Houston Astros Prediction
I’m rolling with the over in this spot. Sproat hasn’t been good with a 5.84 ERA and 1.54 WHIP, and he’s walked 12 guys in his last 18 innings. Lambert has been solid overall this season, but he has a 4.32 ERA at home, which is far worse than his 2.93 ERA on the road. Also, Lambert has walked 11 in his last 25 innings and has allowed 11 runs in his last 18 innings. Both of these guys allow tons of free passes, and both lineups can make you pay. I expect some fireworks in this game. Give me the over.
