The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 36-26 record overall which has them leading the NL Central. They are 18-16 in their road games this season and they have looked good in their games lately. Meanwhile, the Tigers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 31-31 record overall which has them in 4th place of the AL Central right now in what is a really competitive division this year. They haven't been that great in their home games either with their 14-15 home record. The Brewers already have a much stronger offense this season which is going to help them out a lot in this game. Olson is starting for the Tigers here and he hasn't pitched that badly this season with his 2.48 ERA, but the team just hasn't been playing for him since he is 1-6 this season. He has also been slipping up lately as he gave up 5 earned runs in his last start. The Brewers are going to have Peralta starting in this game and he is coming off a better start in his last one since he only gave up 3 earned runs. He is 4-3 this season with a 3.74 ERA and he also has a good bullpen to back him up. The Tigers have a good bullpen too, but the Brewers have been pitching just as well lately and their much stronger offense will give them the edge in this game, especially since the Tigers haven't been putting up runs in Olson's starts all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
