Free MLB Pick

The Brewers did break out for seven runs in their latest, but they have scored a combined total of two runs in their previous three games. They’ll face the Jays’ Yusei Kikuchi tonight, who has limited experience against the Brewers roster, but he was good in what he does have, allowing a .176 batting average over 17 at-bats. Toronto, like Milwaukee, has been lighting up the scoreboard, scoring exactly three runs in four of their last five games. They’ll face a hot starter in Adrian Houser, who has allowed zero runs in his last two starts covering 11 1/3 innings. He did get roughed up in his only career start against the Jays last season, but he seems like a different pitcher this season. After getting a late start to the season with a groin injury, he’s allowed three or fewer runs in all four of his starts. Take the Under 9.5. Football is coming!
