Red Sox vs Brewers Prediction 

Both of these teams are coming off a four-game series that they split over the weekend, but Milwaukee is coming off a win on Sunday. The Brewers are 15-10 at home this year, while the Red Sox are 11-14 on the road. Boston erupted for 25 runs in the first two games against Baltimore, but scored just one in each of the last two. The Red Sox are starting Crochet, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. The Brewers are going with Patrick, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. Boston’s offense is a concern after how they finished their last series, but I have to side with Crochet on the mound here.
