Here are my best free MLB picks for this interleague showdown on April 7.

Who will win Brewers vs Red Sox today: Brewers moneyline (+136)

The 2-8 Boston Red Sox are favored because ace Garrett Crochet is on the mound, but the difference in the starters isn't as big as you might think. 

Milwaukee Brewers righty Jacob Misiorowski has allowed three runs on six hits with 18 strikeouts through 11 innings. The analytics indicate those numbers are sustainable with the hard-throwing 24-year-old allowing an xBA of .167

Milwaukee has a big edge with its lineup ranked third in the majors in OPS (.813) and second in runs per game (6.80).

With the Brewers boasting an 8-2 record, they have value as road dogs. 

Covers COVERS INTEL: Misiorowski is in the 94th percentile in strikeout rate (40%) and whiff rate (42.2%). Boston ranks 26th in strikeout rate (27.8%) and dead-last in whiff rate (33.3%).

Brewers vs Red Sox Over/Under pick: Under 7 (-110)

Crochet pitched to a sparkling 2.59 ERA in 32 starts last year. He's coming off an ugly start, but that was against a Houston team that usually crushes lefties.

The 2025 AL Cy Young runner-up should bounce back with a better performance at home.

Misiorowski and a strong Milwaukee bullpen will also shut down a Boston lineup that averages just 3.60 runs per game with an OPS of .682

Misiorowski struggles with control at times, but the Red Sox are just 26th in walk rate and will chase pitches outside the strike zone.
