Milwaukee @ New York picks

Both lineups showed in one half of yesterday’s doubleheader that they’re capable of producing big innings, and tonight’s matchup features the shakiest pitching duel of the series. I expect both offenses to have their moments in this one, which is why I’m taking the Over.

Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer Ks), and the weather forecast expects the 5th-highest temperatures of all games today at 86°.. Home field advantage typically boosts hitter metrics in all categories, and Juan Soto will hold that advantage in today's matchup.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jackson Chourio in the 93rd percentile when assessing his batting average skill..
