MLB Betting Trends
Arizona
The Diamondbacks have dropped 10 of their last 11 games against a team with a winning record and they have dropped five straight road games.
Milwaukee
The Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10 Tuesday games and 11-2 in their last 13 against NL West opponents. They also have won nine of their last 12 at home.
Prediction:
Can the Brewers stay hot while the Diamondbacks continue to fall? It’s hard to image the Diamondbacks having this losing streak continue much longer, but I just can’t trust them against a surging Milwaukee team that has one of their better starters on the mound. Milwaukee’s pitching has been pretty dialed in as of late, masking their average hitting.
The Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -140
