Brewers vs Guardians Prediction & Pick
Corbin Burnes gets the nod for Milwaukee on Sunday in what has been a tumultuous season so far. The former Cy Young winner has taken a bit of a step back, pitching to a 3.96 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP across 15 starts. Burnes was roughed up for 7 earned runs his last time out against Arizona as well.
Cleveland will go with Aaron Civale on the mound, as he has impressed with a 2.67 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in six starts since returning from injury. The 28-year-old has allowed only 6 earned runs over his last f our outings (21 innings) and has been regularly inducing weak contact from batters at the plate.
Civale has been more trustworthy as of late and has the benefit of pitching at home on Sunday. That is noteworthy as Milwaukee averages the fourth-fewest runs per away game in the league (3.81). The Brewers have also lost four of their last five games on the road, so fade them in this series finale.
Final Score Prediction:'Brewers: 4 | Guardians: 5
