Could a Surprising Player Prop Upset the Odds in Tonight’s Brewers vs. White Sox Showdown?

Well, after a good week, this hasn’t been the most impressive start to a new week on the diamond. There are a lot of reasons to hope I can turn it around, but this actually might be the worst stretch of baseball betting I’ve had in my three-plus years of writing for Outkick. I say that not because I’m losing hope or anything, but because I feel like you deserve the truth of how I’m doing if you plan to fade or follow. I’m picking a game here between the Brewers and the White Sox. 

Last season, I picked the Brewers to win the NL Central and basically since the beginning of the season, they led the way and coasted to a division title. I tried to run it back this season, and there is still time for that, but right now, the Cubs look like the most primed for that distinction. To this point in the year, the Brewers are 14-15 for the season, but they are just 5-11 on the road. I mentioned yesterday that there are a ridiculous amount of teams that have losing records on the road this year. The Brewers aren’t the worst road team in baseball, but they do have a very low amount of wins. Looking at the statistics for the Brewers, it seems like they just can’t close out games. I don’t know that they need to as they have Freddy Peralta taking the hill today. Peralta has kind of become the de facto ace for the Brewers. On most staffs, he probably would be a #2 or #3 starter, but his numbers this season are ace-worthy. He is 2-2 with a 2.43 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. He doesn’t go deep into games, typically, having thrown five innings in five of six games. The White Sox are hitting just .217 against Peralta in limited exposure.
