Milwaukee Brewers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Predictions and Best Bets

Game Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Team Total Over 5.5 +120
I faded Merrill Kelly on Sunday and I am happy to do it again tonight. Kelly has had a terrible season as he sports an ERA of 5.84 with a WHIP of 1.51. At home, those numbers ballon to an ERA of 8.13 and a WHIP of 1.73. His metrics are even worse as he owns an xERA of 7.57 and has a barrell rate of 14%, which is in the bottom percentile of Major League Pitchers. The Brewers own one of the most powerful offenses in the Majors. When facing RHPs on the road, the Brew Crew average 5.2 runs/9. They are also 8th in Batting Average at .254, 11th in OPS at .725 and 11th in wRC+ at 102.
Behind Kelly is an Arizona pen that sports an ERA of 4.18, which is middle of the pack in the Majors. I think the Brewers offense will provide some 4th of July Fireworks tonight, which is why I am bumping the Team Total up, at a plus money price.
Player Prop: Brice Turang Over 1.5 Total Bases +115
Brice Turang enters this game as one of Milwaukee's hottest hitters. The lefty is riding a 6 game hit streak and has cleared this mark in 5 of those games, totaling 15 Total Bases. He is hitting .295 vs right handed pitching with an ISO of .225. Conversely, Kelly allows left handed hitters to hit for an average of .298, allowing 24 extra base hits. Additionally, Turang also loves facing the Diamondbacks as he has cleared this mark in 5 straight head to head meetings, including last night where he registered 3 total bases. Turang is also 4/10 lifetime vs Kelly with a Double and a Home Run. I like him to continue his hot hitting tonight, in a A+ matchup.
Player Prop: Jackson Chourio Over 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs +113
Let's target another Brewer bat tonight in Jackson Chourio. The righty is having a solid season as he is hitting .291 with 12 Home Runs, 34 Runs Batting In and 37 Runs Scored. He has hit this mark in 7 of his last 10 road games and is 1/3 lifetime vs Kelly with a Home Run. Jackson has a Barrell Rate of 14.2%, which is in the 88th percentile among MLB hitters. If you like Home Run bets, he is a good bet tonight. Home Run bets are not my thing so I'll go this route tonight.
