The Milwaukee Brewers and the Kansas City Royals meet Friday in MLB action from Progressive Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Milwaukee Brewers vs. Kansas City Royals prediction.
The Milwaukee Brewers will send out Chad Patrick for the start here and Patrick is 0-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 4 strikeouts this season. This will be Patrick’s second career start against the Royals. Luinder Avila will get the start here and Avila was 1-1 with a 1.29 ERA and 16 strikeouts last season. This will be Avila’s first career start against the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers come into this game looking to add on to their 8-2 win over Tampa Bay in their last game to sit at 5-1 this season. After this series, the Brewers will head on the road again for a series against the Boston Red Sox.
Brice Turang has 9 hits with 4 doubles, a home run and 5 RBIs while Christian Yelich has 8 hits with a home run and a team-high 7 RBIs this season. Jake Bauers has added 6 hits with 2 homers and 4 RBI and Gary Sanchez also has 2 homers with 3 RBIs this season. William Contreras has chipped in 5 hits with a pair of doubles with 4 RBIs as well on the year.
The Kansas City Royals come into this game looking to bounce back from their 5-1 loss at the hands of Minnesota last time out to sit at 3-3 this season. After this series, the Royals will head on the road for a series against the Cleveland Guardians.
Kyle Isbel has 9 hits with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs while Jonathan India has a home run and 5 RBIs on the year. Jac Caglianone has 6 hits with 2 doubles and a .333 batting average while Bobby Witt Jr. has 6 hits with a pair of RBIs and Vinnie Pasquantino’s added 4 hits with a double and 4 RBIs on the year. Maikel Garcia also has 6 hits with a double and 3 RBIs this season.
I’m on the Brewers here. I have no idea what we’re going to see from Avila in this start and if it turns out to be a bullpen game, that could be bad news for KC because of how bad their bullpen has been out of the gate. Even if Avila’s an opener for someone, I still think this Brewers lineup has been more powerful and more consistent in the early going and as much as I’m not a fan of Chad Patrick, I think he can do enoug to get the Brew Crew the win here. Give me Milwaukee.
