Milwaukee Brewers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Cleveland Guardians are still extremely profitable for MLB bettors, but this second half hasn’t been great, and the offense continues to struggle. The Milwaukee Brewers have played good ball over the last week or so, and there’s value with them at home and the cheap price. Aaron Civale needs to get his act together, but you’d think things will come together at some point. Civale is too talented of a pitcher to continue to give up crooked numbers. Give me the Brewers in this near pick em spot at home.
