This is an 8* on MILWAUKEE

The Brewers couldn’t put together enough runs to keep pace with the Tigers last night. In fact, they didn’t even score until putting three on the board in the top of the ninth! But despite losing 8-3, they actually wound up with more hits than Detroit (10-8) and it was more of a case of “cluster luck” than anything else. For today’s game, we’re backing Milwaukee as they turn to the reliable Corbin Burnes. In his previous two starts, Burnes has gone six innings and the only run allowed was unearned. He has 17 strikeouts in those 12 innings. With him on the mound, the Brewers beat Pittsburgh 9-1 and then Cleveland 7-1. In four of his five starts this season, Burnes has allowed 1 or 0 runs. Matthew Boyd gets the start here for Detroit. While he too has gone six innings in consecutive quality outings, he still allowed three home runs. Both starts saw Boyd give up two runs, which is obviously more than Brunes in the same stretch. Also, Boyd got off to a shaky start this year. None of his first six starts were considered “quality” and he’s still just 1-5 with a 6.64 ERA. Play on MILWAUKEE
