Milwaukee Brewers (84-75) vs Arizona Diamondbacks (73-86)
Monday, October 03, 2022 at 7:40 pm
At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Arizona Diamondbacks. With the Padres having secured their Wild Card berth on Sunday (despite losing), the final spot in the National League comes down to the Phillies and Brewers. The Phils hold a two-game lead after winning their last couple of games over the woeful Nats on Saturday and Sunday (the Brewers didn't help themselves by losing their last two). The good news for Milwaukee (if there is any) is that while Philly has to go to Houston this week for its last three, the Crew gets to host the D-Backs. In the first game, the Brewers will send out RHP Brandon Woodruff. The 29-year-old has been on fire recently. Over his last four starts, Woodruff is 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA with 42 strikeouts and five walks in 26 innings. Woodruff's overall numbers are very good, but at home he is in another zone. In 12 starts this season here at American Family Field covering 72 2/3 innings he is 8-0 with a 1.98 ERA and 0.85 WHIP. The Brewers are also 4-1 in Woodruff's five career starts vs. the D-Backs going back to May of 2018. Take Milwaukee.
