MLB Betting Trends

Detroit

The over is 15-4-2 in the last 21 Tigers road games. Detroit is 3-7 in its last 10 Sunday games.

Milwaukee

The over is 13-3 in the last 16 Milwaukee games on Sundays. The Brewers are 21-7 in their last 28 games overall.

Prediction:

Detroit is only 26-54 on the road this season, while Milwaukee is 50-30 at home. That's about enough to say. Expect another big game out of Yelich as he is as locked in as anyone right now. The Brewers are the team to bet on here and go with the runline for a better return.
