Brewers vs Guardians
Brew Crew meets hot Cleveland bats—edge tips toward the lakefront

Brewers (20-21) VS Guardians (23-17)
13 May 2025 | 6:10 PM ET | Progressive Field, Cleveland

Cleveland rides into Tuesday’s matchup on a good run of form, showing a steady blend of offensive consistency and bullpen reliability. Milwaukee, meanwhile, comes in dropping four of their last five hindered by the absence of their top late-inning option and a taxed bullpen that’s already let leads slip. While their starter brings a strong strikeout history against this opponent, Cleveland’s top-of-the-order approach and league-leading on-base performance continue to grind down tired relief corps. Milwaukee’s bats have also gone quiet recently, managing just eight runs over the last four outings.
Even with the Guardians missing a key arm in their rotation, the supporting cast has stepped up impressively, including a dependable long-relief option that could be called upon if needed. Milwaukee’s offense, short on extra-base threats, hasn't made up for its bullpen issues. Cleveland’s recent form, roster health, and overall momentum all tilt the balance slightly in their favor. This one’s worth backing at home — chalk it up with confidence.

Neither team enters this matchup looking likely to light up the scoreboard, as Cleveland continues a good run of form while Milwaukee fights through a rough stretch, dropping four of its last five. Both clubs are dealing with significant injuries to their pitching staffs, meaning they'll both need their starters to go the distance tonight. On the mound, strikeout-heavy starters and offenses ranked in the league's lower third in hard-hit percentage point to a tightly contested, low-scoring affair. Add in a lakefront breeze blowing in, and it's clear this one could stall out early on the offensive front.
When teams are trending toward the under and pitching matchups look this dialed in, it’s usually not the night for slugfests. Both sides have been reliable for low totals lately, and neither manager will hesitate to pull a starter at the first sign of trouble. With conditions helping keep the ball in the yard and neither lineup making loud contact with consistency, this feels like a prime spot to ride the under again.

Cleveland enters this matchup winning three of their last five and showing off a well-rounded game plan, particularly on the pitching side. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has stumbled in four of its last five and faces depth concerns with key arms missing in the bullpen. Their starter may need to shoulder a long outing to avoid exposing a shaky relief core, while Cleveland benefits from extra rest for its rotation and continues to lead the AL in limiting home runs — a problem for a Brewers lineup that already strikes out at a high clip.
With both momentum and health swinging their way, Cleveland has the tools to not just win, but win convincingly. Rather than eat the inflated moneyline, taking the run line offers stronger value thanks to a steadier lineup, bullpen advantage, and the ability to suppress power in a cooler, pitcher-friendly setting. Back the home side to cover with confidence.
