Brewers vs Guardians
Underdogs at home, Guardians look set to bite back

Brewers (19-21) VS Guardians (23-16)
May 12, 2025 | 6:10 p.m. ET | Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH

Cleveland enters this matchup with strong momentum, despite dropping two in a row , while Milwaukee continues to trend in the opposite direction. That shift in trajectory is underscored by bullpen concerns and uncertainty around key everyday contributors for the Brewers. On the mound, Cleveland turns to a starter who has historically fared well against this opponent, while Milwaukee counters with a pitcher whose previous outings at Progressive Field have been less than stellar.
Given the more reliable late-inning options for Cleveland and the value still present in their plus-money status, backing the Guardians makes sense here. The betting market may be slow to adjust to their current form, making this a worthwhile play.

Cleveland enters this one riding some okay form, while Milwaukee looks to rebound from a recent slide. However, that gap in form is balanced by the visiting starter’s prior success in this matchup, especially against a Cleveland lineup that’s currently without a few of its top offensive threats. Milwaukee’s own offensive issues remain a concern, particularly with some nagging injuries in the heart of their order, which has contributed to their recent scoring droughts.
Both teams currently lean more on consistent contact than big bats, and the ballpark conditions aren’t favorable for offense early in the season. Add in two starters with a knack for missing bats and well-rested bullpens following a day off, and this game shapes up as a low-scoring affair. The under looks like the sharper angle here.

Cleveland heads into this matchup with okay momentum, despite dropping two in a row, while Milwaukee continues to search for answers while trending down. With both teams missing key pieces, the edge falls to Cleveland’s stronger bullpen and consistent home performance. While the visiting starter has had some solid moments against this lineup in the past, the Guardians’ ability to capitalize on situational hitting and their strong late-game execution gives them an advantage in tight contests.
Milwaukee’s lineup hasn’t produced enough to offset their bullpen concerns, and Cleveland’s record in one-run games highlights their knack for staying composed under pressure. Taking the Guardians with a run-and-a-half feels like a calculated play in what projects to be a closely managed game.
