Texas Rangers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers in this one. I get that it’s not ideal backing May after a 1-pitch start where he got hit with a line drive, but the Brewers are the better option as they’ve been smashing right-handed pitching as of late and Kumar Rocker isn’t the option I want to back in a matchup like this. I think this is a case of two teams headed in different directions, so give me Milwaukee here.
