Houston Astros vs Milwaukee Brewers. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. The Astros triumphed in five of their last six road contests and 10 of their last 11 home contests.

Their recent offensive surge saw them score at least five runs in four of their previous five matches. Burnes pitched well in recent starts, but he struggled at home, giving up 10 runs in his last four outings there.

Milwaukee’s bullpen, which also recently played poorly, may find it challenging to contain Houston’s hot bats. Four of the Brewers’ last six games ended in losses.

They needed help scoring runs on offense over that time, managing just eight runs.

Since France performed admirably for the Astros on the mound, giving up seven runs in his last three starts, things won’t get much more straightforward for them in this game.

Houston has the second-best bullpen in the league, so expect them to contain Milwaukee’s offense even though he only allowed one run in two road starts.

Houston should cover the money line. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
