Braves vs. Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. It would be really nice to know who both sides are throwing out here, but essentially the Brewers are just hitting the ball a lot better right now, and while Atlanta has had the edge in the bullpen since the all-star break, Milwaukee’s lead in starting pitching has been better and I don’t think that’s enough for Atlanta to overtake the Brewers. I’m leaning more towards Milwaukee here.
