Adam Williams presents his prediction for the MLB match.
The Milwaukee Brewers and the Detroit Tigers split the opening two games of their series. The Tigers opened with a commanding 9:1 win, but were then blanked 5:0 in Game 2. That result brought the Brewers back to an even 9-9 record.
Milwaukee Brewers
Both squads have been buoyed by unexpected offensive contributions early in the season. For the hosts, Venezuelan outfielder Jackson Chourio has emerged as a key figure. His on-base percentage of 28% is nearly identical to his batting average (27.5%), but the 21-year-old has already tallied 12 extra-base hits and 17 RBIs across just 18 games. His performances have played a significant role in the Brewers averaging 4.83 runs per game.
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers have also been lifted by a breakout showing at the plate. Spencer Torkelson, who endured a difficult campaign last year, is beginning to fulfil the promise that made him the top overall pick in the 2020 draft. Still only 25, Spencer Torkelson leads the team with 12 RBIs and has chipped in with 5 home runs, posting a solid 36% OBP. As a result, the Tigers are currently eighth in MLB for runs per game (4.71).
Milwaukee Brewers vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Both teams rank among the league’s top ten for average runs scored. The first two matchups in this series have demonstrated the offensive potential on both sides. On the mound, the expected starters are Keider Montero and José Quintana, each of whom has made just one start so far this season. With both pitchers lacking rhythm, this game could once again favour the hitters. A high-scoring contest looks likely.
