Starting pitchers

Braxton Garrett vs. Trevor Megill

Garrett will make his 29th appearance and 28th start of the season. He struggled against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last outing, but mainly with his pitch count. Garrett only allowed one earned run on three hits but threw 91 pitches in 3.2 innings. He struck out four and walked three while taking his sixth loss.

Megill will take the mound for the 27th time this season but will make his first career start. He has pitched extremely well this month, allowing just one earned run on three hits in 4.1 innings. The lone run was a solo shot on September 2 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Megill has struck out nine batters and only walked one this month with two holds and one blown save.

Over/Under pick

The Marlins lineup has gone ice cold in this series, tallying only one run over the first two games. The Brew Crew tallied three runs in Wednesday’s victory. They have now scored at least three runs in seven consecutive games. This will likely be a bullpen day for Milwaukee, but we should still see the over hit.

Pick: Over 7.5

Moneyline pick

After a strong start to the month, Miami has now lost back-to-back games and three of its last four. Milwaukee has won four of its last five games. Garrett’s control issues over three of his recent starts are concerning for this game. Even with the injuries in the lineup, I think the Brewers win Wednesday.
