π₯ Brewers 78-62 (+121) vs Yankees 70-71 (-144) 8.5 O/U
The Brewers are taking on the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, one of the top 3 ballparks in baseball for HR's allowing 1.52 per game. Brewers' pitcher Wade Miley (3.54 ERA, 382 Batters Faced) will be up against Yankees' Michael King (2.88 ERA, 323 Batters Faced). This matchup is interesting from a betting perspective because of the over/under and the odds.

The Mets are up against the Twins, with David Peterson (5.40 ERA, 395 Batters Faced) facing off against Kenta Maeda (4.73 ERA, 349 Batters Faced). Peterson is one of the worst starters in baseball, allowing 5.4 runs per game. The Twins are the easiest team to strikeout in baseball, leading the league at 10.

Favorite Matchup Of The Day
Out of the matchups above, my favorite pick of the day is the Brewers at +121. With Miley's solid ERA and the Yankees' struggle to maintain a consistent performance, the Brewers have a good chance of coming out on top. π
