Prediction

Moneyline
PASS.
The Marlins are in the bottom half of the league in road win percentage at 34-38 and they were blasted by the Brewers in the opener Monday. Milwaukee is 41-28 at home which ranks 7th in the MLB.
However at (-165) I would still pass and look towards the spread for better value.
Run line/Against the spread
BET BREWERS -1.5 (+120).
The Marlins are starting a reliever and set to play a bullpen-heavy game Tuesday. However that isn’t necessarily their strength as their relievers rank 18th in the MLB in ERA at 4.22.
Miami sits with the 5th-worst cover rate as a road underdog as well at 28-28. Back BREWERS -1.5 (+120).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 7.5 (-120).
The Brewers have been on fire as of late scoring 7 or more runs in 4 of their last 6 games. They are 5-1 O/U in those battles and are 7-3 O/U in their last 10 games.
Miami has similar trends. It has gone Over in 8 of its last 10 and has scored at least 4 runs in 2 of its last 3 games. It should find more success at the plate Tuesday.
