Arizona Diamondbacks

Milwaukee Brewers
(-110/-110)-185
As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to host the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 25, 2025, the stakes are high in this National League matchup. The Brewers are currently enjoying a stellar season with an 81-50 record, firmly positioned for a playoff run. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks find themselves at a more mediocre 64-67, struggling to keep their playoff hopes alive.
In their last outing, the Brewers showcased their dominance by winning decisively, continuing their strong play behind the bat of their best hitter, who has been on a tear lately. The Brewers will send right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff to the mound, who boasts an impressive 4-1 record this season with a remarkable 2.47 ERA after starting only 8 games. Although Woodruff projects to allow 2.2 earned runs and 4.3 hits today, he’s known for his control, with a low 6.6 BB% that could mitigate the Diamondbacks’ patient approach at the plate.
On the other side, Arizona counters with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who has had an underwhelming season with a 5.40 ERA and a 5-7 record across 22 starts. His projections aren’t favorable either, as he is expected to allow 2.5 earned runs and 5.2 hits today. With a Power Rankings position of 27th for the Diamondbacks’ bullpen, they could face significant challenges in keeping the game close.
The Brewers offense ranks 3rd in batting average and 11th overall in talent estimates, while the Diamondbacks’ offense, though 4th in runs scored, may struggle against Woodruff’s skill set. Given the Brewers’ current form and the matchup advantages, they are favored heavily in this contest.
