Milwaukee Brewers
(+100/-120)-175
The Milwaukee Brewers will host the Miami Marlins on July 27, 2025, at American Family Field in what shapes up to be an intriguing matchup between two teams heading in different directions. The Brewers, with a solid record of 61-43, are enjoying a strong season, while the Marlins sit at a mediocre 50-53. In their last game, the Brewers managed to secure a victory over the Marlins, which adds a bit of momentum as they look to extend their dominance in this series.
On the mound, the Brewers are slated to start Brandon Woodruff, who is coming off an impressive season where he holds a 2-0 record with a stellar 1.65 ERA over just three starts. Woodruff’s ability to limit walks (0.0 BB% this year) and his high flyball rate (49% FB) could be beneficial against a Marlins offense that has struggled to generate power, ranking 5th lowest in home runs this season. The projections suggest he may face some challenges, particularly with his expected ERA (xERA) indicating he might have been a bit lucky thus far.
Eury Perez will take the mound for the Marlins, and while he boasts a 3.23 ERA over eight starts, his 4.03 xFIP suggests he may not be as effective going forward. Perez’s struggles with innings pitched (projected at just 4.8 today) and his high walk rate (1.4 walks allowed on average) could spell trouble against a Brewers lineup that ranks 2nd in stolen bases, adding another layer of pressure.
Despite the Marlins having a decent batting average (9th in MLB), their overall offensive ranking at 20th indicates they may struggle to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Brewers, while averaging only 4.22 runs according to current odds, are favored with a moneyline of -175, reflecting their potential to outclass the Marlins in this matchup. With Woodruff on the mound, the Brewers look to assert their dominance once again.
