AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Houston,
Money Line: -105.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Win
The Brewers are coming into this game with a 26-17 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 games, but they have also played their last 7 straight games at home where they have been playing much better recently. When playing on the road, they have actually lost 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has not been as good either as they have been averaging 3 runs scored per game in their last 4 road games. They are going up against an Astros team that is 19-25 this season and is starting to bounce back after their awful start to the season. They have now won their last 5 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games and their offense has been great in these as they have scored at least 8 runs themselves in 3 of their last 5 games. The Astros have Hunter Brown starting in this game and he is 0-4 with a 7.79 ERA this season. He had a very rough start to the season as he has been allowing a lot of runs in his starts in April, but he has been starting to pitch much better in his last 2 starts. He has improved more in each start of May as he allowed 2 earned runs in a little over 4 innings to start May and then followed up by allowing just 1 earned runs in 5 innings in his last start. The team has only won 1 of the 8 games he has pitched in this season so with Brown starting to pitch much better now, he is due for a win here with his improvement as the Astros are playing well now. Freddy Peralta is starting for the Brewers here and he is 3-1 with a 3.63 ERA this season. He has been the complete opposite this season as he was pitching very well to start the season, but now he has been regressing in his recent starts. He has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 2 starts as well as 3 of his last 4 starts and he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of those as well. The team has also won 7 of their 8 games this season with him starting so that is bound to come back the other way as he has not been pitching as well recently and the Astros offense has also been heating up more as well. This is the perfect spot for Brown to get his 1st win of the season with the Astros playing much better now. The Astros will win this game.
