The under is 5-0 in Astros last 5 road games. The under is 4-0 in Brewers last 4 Tuesday games. The Astros are 14-38 in the last 52 meetings in Milwaukee.

Randy’s Pick

I'm going to side with the over in this spot as the Milwaukee Brewers offense is kind of due for a breakout performance and neither pitcher has been great. J.P. France is a rookie still finding his footing and he could struggle on the road. Colin Rea has a 5.52 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 31 innings. The Houston Astros are tearing the cover off the ball right now. I expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
