The Brewers are set to start veteran southpaw Jose Quintana in their quest for a series sweep. Quintana is enjoying a very first nice season in Milwaukee with an 8-4 record to go along with a 3.50 ERA. He’s allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his past four starts. The Braves will start star right-hander Spencer Strider (5-8, 3.71 ERA), who missed nearly all of last year. He’s racked up 92 strikeouts 77.2 innings so far this season.
Strider’s strikeout prop at FanDuel Sportsbook is 6.5 (Over -152, Under +120). He’s gone Over this line in three of his last four starts. Quintana’s strikeout prop line is set at 3.5 (Over -148, Under +116). Both of those Overs have been given 3.5/5 stars by the SportsLine Projection Model, but its top recommendation for either starting pitcher is the 4.5 stars it’s given out for Strider Over 1.5 earned runs allowed (-153) at 4.5 stars—thanks to a projection of 2.4 earned runs allowed.
Atlanta home run leader Matt Olson is the favorite to homer in this game at +420, followed by Braves catcher Sean Murphy at +450. Andrew Vaughn has the shortest odds of any Brewers player for this market at +520, but Braves veteran Marcell Ozuna has the third-shortest odds at +500. Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has the most home runs this season of any player in this game with 21, and he has the fifth-lowest odds at +630.
The Braves are -131 favorites (wager $131 to win $100) in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, while the Brewers are +110 (wager $100 to win $110) underdogs. The total sits at 8, with both the Over and the Under priced at -110. You can find the model’s latest projections and expert picks for Brewers-Braves at SportsLine.
