Brewers vs. Mariners: Why the Total Could Soar Beyond Expectations Tonight
The Brewers are almost 20 games over .500, and they are currently in second place of the NL Central. If it wasn’t for the Cubs, they would potentially be the number one team in the National League. For a team that continues to alter the roster and lose a lot of players, they have done a great job of finding ways to consistently win. The roster is not full of superstars, and they lost one of their best players in the offseason, yet they still hit. The rotation has few names you’re familiar with, but they continue to twirl gems. It may not lead to postseason success, but getting there is half of the battle and if they can keep winning, they will find themselves there as either a division winner or Wild Card winner. Tonight, they send out Brandon Woodruff to the hill. For the season, he has just 10.1 innings under his belt, but has struck out 18 hitters and he has 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA and a 0.68 WHIP. All the runs he has allowed this season have come via the longball. That could bode well for Seattle’s Cal Raleigh. Overall, the team is hitting just 10-for-31 against Woodruff (some of those stats are from pitchers, who no longer hit).
