Milwaukee Brewers vs Houston Astros Prediction
Misiorowski looks like a CY Young winner with his 1.83 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. In his last 31.1 innings, Misiorowski has allowed 11 hits and 1 run. In 21.2 road innings, Misiorowski has a 1.66 ERA and a .123 batting average allowed. I’m not stepping in front of that. Imai has been a mess this season, and that includes allowing 10 hits and 9 runs in his last 14.2 innings. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
