My Brewers vs. Braves predictions and MLB picks expect a low-scoring affair, particularly with Freddy Peralta toeing the rubber for the visitors on Tuesday, August 5.
Brewers vs Braves prediction
My Brewers vs Braves best bet: Under 8 (-115 at FanDuel)
The Atlanta Braves picked right-hander Joey Wentz up off waivers and transitioned him from a reliever to a starting pitcher. Those two moves have completely turned his season around, as Wentz has been tremendous in his new role.
Through four appearances with Atlanta, Wentz boasts a 1.50 ERA and 0.72 WHIP. He credits an adjustment to the grip on his cutter, but the increased trust in a starting role, along with a more competent team, has aided his success.
As a result, a strong pitching duel could be in store as right-hander Freddy Peralta takes the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers. An All-Star this season, Peralta is 12-5 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.13 WHIP.
His underlying metrics are equally strong, as he ranks in the top half of the league in expected ERA (xERA), expected batting average (xBA), average exit velocity, and hard-hit rate.
That success will continue against Atlanta, a team against whom Peralta has gone 3-1 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over his past seven meetings.
Brewers vs Braves same-game parlay (SGP)
Under 8
Freddy Peralta 7+ strikeouts
Brewers moneyline
Sticking with the theme of backing Peralta, his greatest strength is his ability to put opposing hitters away, ranking in the 77th percentile in whiff rate and 74th in strikeout rate. He's recorded seven or more strikeouts in four of his past seven starts.
Not only would a strong outing from Peralta boost Milwaukee’s chances of winning, but the Brewers also outrank Atlanta in runs per game, hits per game, OPS, and stolen bases.
