Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen ranks as the 5th-best in the game, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Edward Cabrera – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
Edward Cabrera’s change-up percentage has spiked by 7.6% from last season to this one (25.6% to 33.2%) .
