Freddy Peralta was sharp in his last start, allowing just one run over 6.0 innings, but it came against the Marlins. The Brewers come off a sweep against the Pirates and have won four straight. The Astros have won eight of their last 10, and they've also won five of Brad Peacock's last six starts. He allowed just five runs between those six starts. I'm on the Astros.
We're playing with fire here as these are two extremely potent offenses, but I can't pass up the value on this price. As good as Milwaukee's offense is, it's been much better at home this year than on the road. As for the Houston offense, it's been in a bit of a funk as of late due to suffering so many key injuries. Over the last week the Houston offense has a wOBA of .291, which ranks 20th in MLB in that span.
Brad Peacock has been very good this season with a 5-3 record and 3.2 ERA, while Freddy Peralta has been underwhelming with a 3-2 record and 5.11 ERA. Since Peacock started pitching out of the windup, he is 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA and in six home starts he is sporting a 2.38 ERA. The Brewers are a completely different team on the road and they are only 3-4 when Freddy Peralta starts. The Astros are 8-0 coming out of an off day and 8-3 when Peacock starts.
The Houston Astros' overall record at 45-22 and their dominant home record are influenced into Tuesday’s line. Pitcher Brad Peacock will look to recover from suffering his first loss in over a month. Yet look for the Brewers to override the Astros home advantage and tack on their-fifth straight win.
