Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers Betting Resources

Arizona enters this matchup with no chance of making the playoffs this season. However, they do have the opportunity to spoil the Brewers playoff hopes. The Diamondbacks have been struggling over their last 25 games with an 8-17 SU record, most recently going 1-2 SU in a series with the Giants. The offense never had any sort of consistency this season with a batting average of .231 (25th), on base percentage of .305 (23rd), slugging percentage of .385 (20th) and have scored 693 total ruins (13th). The bullpen has not produced either with a WHIP of 1.29 (20th) and team ERA of 4.28 (23rd). The southpaw Tommy Henry (3-4, 5.98 ERA) is scheduled to start on Monday.  

The Brewers are currently two games behind the Phillies for the last NL Wild Card spot. Their only option is to beat the Diamondbacks in this series and hope Philadelphia comes up empty in their next couple of games. Milwaukee has been mediocre over their last 25 games with a 13-12 SU record, most recently going 1-3 SU in a series with the Marlins. Milwaukee’s offense has struggled over that stretch but have been solid throughout the season with a batting average of .235 (22nd), on base percentage of .316 (13th), slugging percentage of .408 (10th) and have scored 714 total runs (10th). The bullpen has not been bad either with a WHIP of 1.22 (10th) and team ERA of 3.85 (13th). The right hander Brandon Woodruff (13-4, 3.05 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Brewers Monday.  

I like Milwaukee to take game-one of this series as they’ll have the pitching advantage with Woodruff taking the mound. That and they should be motivated with these last three games being must wins for the Brewers. No value in the moneyline so will be backing the Brewers runline here.  

Score Prediction: Brewers 5, Diamondbacks 2
Best Bet: Brewers -1.5 (-105)
