There are a couple of ways you could look to play this one, but we are going to recommend taking the Brewers on the money line at -101. We have the Brewers winning this one by a score of 6-5, and with the payout being nearly even, we think this is the best way to go.

If you are looking for a parlay option, you could look to pair the Brewers with an over pick. We have the over/under at 8 runs, and with the Brewers winning 6-5, there is a little bit of wiggle room if you wanted to take the over.
