Final Brewers-Tigers Prediction & Pick
While the Brewers do not have the best pitching in the majors, they have a great offense. They not only hit well for power, but they can also manufacture runs when needed as well. This has led to an offense that can score with the best in the majors. The Tigers are sending Reese Olson to the mound, and while he has been better at home, Brewer's ability to manufacture runs will be the difference in this one.
