Back the Under 8 with two rate-suppressing arms against a punchless Texas lineup.

Quantrill's 1.14 WHIP meets a Milwaukee offense that ranks dead-last in home runs.

The de-vigged implied totals sit at TEX 3.7 and MIL 4.3, adding to exactly the posted 8.0. The number looks efficient rather than soft, and Milwaukee's -156 price fairly reflects the home-team gap. No standout side edge beats the read, so the lean is toward the total.

Quantrill owns the edge on run prevention with a 2.90 ERA and 2.38 BB/9, pounding the zone despite a modest 6.49 K/9. Drohan misses more bats at 8.91 K/9 but his 1.29 WHIP and 3.08 BB/9 leave more traffic. The command and ERA advantage clearly favors Quantrill tonight.

Milwaukee is a contact machine ranking 3rd in average at .256, but their league-worst 0.91 HR/game means they must string singles rather than slug against Quantrill. Texas brings little threat, sitting 20th in average and 19th in homers, a tough spot versus Drohan's swing-and-miss stuff. Neither side profiles as a clean power stack.

American Family Field is a retractable-roof park, so treat weather as a non-factor with no wind or temperature swing on scoring.

DFS Angles

Lean lightly on Milwaukee given their 3rd-ranked contact profile, but this is a floor stack, not a power stack, since they rank last in homers.

Target Quantrill as a value arm off his 2.90 ERA and 1.14 WHIP against a bottom-tier Texas offense; Drohan is a riskier tournament dart on his 8.91 K/9.
