Cleveland Guardians at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

The Cleveland Guardians (72-50) and Brewers of Milwaukee (70-52) plays the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series on Saturday. First pitch at American Family Field is set for 7:15 pm ET (FOX). Let’s analyze the FanDuel Sportsbook lines around Guardians vs. brewer odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season Series: Brewers lead 1-0

The Brewers scored 3 runs in the bottom of the first inning in Friday’s series opener, backing up former Guardians RHP Aaron Civale in a win against his former team. Milwaukee ended up leading wire-to-wire, building a 5-0 lead after 4 innings, before Cleveland hit for 3 runs in the top of the 8th to make it interesting.

Late scoring by the Guardians against the bullpen for the Brewers killed the Under (7.5) bettors as the Over just came in.

The Guardians saw their 5-game winning streak go up in smoke. Under is still 5-3-1 in their last 9 outings despite Friday’s Over result.

The Brewers have split their last 14 home games going 7-7 while the Over has gone 7-3-1 in their last 11 outings while going 10-4-2 in their last 16 home games.

With its win on Friday, Milwaukee improved to 27-14 against the American League, by far the most interleague wins of any team in the majors. In fact, the second best mark is 22 wins by the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays.

Brewers pitchers picks and predictions

foresight

Guardians 6, Brewers 3

Moneyline

The GUARDIANS (+110) are a nice play for saturday’s recovery game behind bibee.

The Cleveland right-hander has 10 wins this season and has more impressive splits on the way.

On the other hand, the Brewers (-130) are a risky play behind Peralta, who has been a little on the erratic side while posting a losing record and a 4.54 ERA at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous and the money line isn’t good enough for you, go for it GUARDIANS -1.5 (+176) for the chance to cash in.

There is risk here as Cleveland has 5 wins in their last 6 outings, but 3 of those wins are by one run. However, the Guardians have won Bibee’s last 4 starts and 3 of those wins have come by multiple runs.

Over/Under

Above 7.5 (-105) is the Saturday track again.

We got a close shave Friday night as the Under bettors were on the right side until a 3-run burst by Cleveland in the top of the 8th inning flipped the Over.

The Over is 9-5-1 in the last 15 games for the Guardians while the over is 3-0-1 in the last 4 games for the Brewers.
