The Brewers enter this game on a 2 game winning streak. They won their last series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 42-33 record overall and have a road record of 23-18. This is the series opener of a 2-game series with the Rays on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 13th in the MLB with a .717 OPS. Chi Chi Gonzalez was their starting pitcher on Sunday while Brandon Woodruff will be making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 5-3 with a 4.74 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 4 strikeouts on 2 hits through 4 innings played against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

 

The Rays are entering this game on a 3 game winning streak. They won their last series against the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 completing the sweep in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 40-32 record overall and have a home record of 25-15. This is the series opener of a 2-game series with the Brewers on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 25th in the MLB with a .674 OPS. Shane McClanahan was on the mound on Sunday while Shane Baz will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Tuesday. He is 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA this season. His team lost their last 3 straight games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 6 Ks on 4 hits through 4.2 IP against the New York Yankees. 

The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet as the Rays are undecided on a starting pitcher but it will likely be Shane Baz getting the nod here. The Rays are starting to gain some steam as they just won their last 3 straight games and swept the Pirates in their last series. The Rays are supposed to be a playoff contender though and should be sweeping teams like the Pirates despite being very inconsistent this season. The Brewers are coming off of a series that they just won against another team that is supposed to be a playoff contender this season and was even favored to win their division, the Blue Jays. The Brewers scored many runs on them taking advantage of their poor pitching but they will not be able to do the same here with the Rays pitching staff. The Rays have a very good pitching staff and bullpen so whoever starts in this game will give them a chance here at home. The Brewers are starting Woodruff here and he has not been that great this season, getting blown up in a few of his starts and the Brewers cannot afford that here. Neither of these teams have really been hitting well this season so this game could come down to pitching and the rays have a major advantage in that department. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rays to win this game.

"It's a day where the offense really picked us up and gave us a great cushion. Rowdy had a big day but up and down the lineup a lot of guys did good things. They carried us today. They made pitchers' jobs much easier." - Craig Counsell after his team’s win against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

 

 

"The swim move where he tucked the left arm and reached around with the right. That was a pretty pivotal part of the game." - Kevin Cash after his team’s win against the Pirates on Sunday.
