Milwaukee Brewers at Miami Marlins Prediction

Today’s matchup between Milwaukee and Miami features two outstanding pitchers in Corbin Burnes and Pablo Lopez. Even though both teams are coming off impressive offensive outings, I recommend taking the under. Throughout the season, Milwaukee has consistently struggled against quality pitching, and at times Corbin Burnes can be unhittable, averaging 11.64 strikeouts per 9 innings. Even with an over-under line at just 6.5 runs, I am going with the under.
