The Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox wrap up a three-game set at Fenway Park on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Boston evened the series by winning 3-2 last night, and my Brewers vs. Red Sox predictions are backing the home side to win again.<\/p>\n

Here are my best free MLB picks<\/a> for this interleague showdown on April 8.<\/p>\n

Who will win Brewers vs Red Sox today: Boston moneyline (-121)<\/p>\n

Sonny Gray<\/a> was roughed up in his Boston Red Sox<\/a> debut but bounced back with a solid start last week. Gray had a 4.28 ERA last year but his FIP was much better at 3.39.<\/p>\n

I trust him more than southpaw Shane Drohan<\/a>, who makes his MLB debut for the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>. Drohan has good swing-and-miss stuff but struggles with command.<\/p>\n

Boston has struggled with strikeouts this season but is hitting well against lefties (.256 BA). The Red Sox are also 10th in the majors in barrel rate and sixth in exit velocity, indicating positive regression.<\/p>\n

Sonny Gray had a 3.29 SIERA and a 26.7% strikeout rate in 2025 \u2014 both numbers ranking sixth in the majors among qualifying starters.<\/p>\n

Brewers vs Red Sox Over\/Under pick: Over 7.5 (-101)<\/p>\n

Drohan has potential as a back-of-the-rotation starter, but there’s a reason Boston traded him away in the offseason. He was also just the No. 25-ranked prospect in the Brewers system on MLB pipeline.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gray has been inconsistent dating back to the midway point of last season. The Brewers are fourth in the majors in OPS (.782) and third in runs per game (6.36). They are also familiar with Gray’s stuff since he spent most of his career in the NL Central.<\/p>\n

There’s simply too many question marks for both starters for the total to be this low.<\/p>\n
