The Milwaukee Brewers (69-61) meet the Arizona Diamondbacks (62-68) Friday in the 2nd game of a 4-game set at Chase Field. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Diamondbacks lead 1-0
The Brewers were shut out 5-0 Thursday night and had just 4 hits. This ended a promising stretch where they won 4 of 5 against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs and scored 31 runs in the process. OF Christian Yelich left Thursday’s game with a neck issue, which is likely to keep him out Friday and maybe the rest of the series.
The D-backs are rolling, winners of 6 of 7 games. Before Thursday, they took 2 of 3 from the Philadelphia Phillies at home in a series where all 3 games had a team with double-digit runs. Arizona is 17-13 in its last 30 games to give them a slight chance at a wild card. They remain 10 games out and need to kill it in September.
