After a pair of one-run wins against San Diego, the Marlins head to Milwaukee on a modest two-game streak — but face a steep challenge this afternoon when they open a three-game series against the NL Central-leading Brewers. First pitch is set for 3:10 p.m. EST.
The red-hot Brewers (61–41) are 12-1 in their last 13 matchups, including a 10-2 rout of the Mariners on Wednesday, while Miami (48–53) sits 10 games out in the NL East and just 4–6 in its last 10.
The Brewers will send Freddy Peralta (12–4, 2.85 ERA) to the mound. The right-hander has racked up 122 Ks in 116.2 innings and owns a 1.08 WHIP. He'll face Cal Quantrill (3–8, 5.24), who threw a two-hit shutout over six innings in his last start.
Miami's offense continues to run through Kyle Stowers, who leads the team in average (.295), home runs (22), and RBI (61). The Brewers counter with veteran Christian Yelich, who's driven in 66 runs and leads Milwaukee in homers with 19.

Marlins vs Brewers Predictions and Picks
"I'm on the Brewers here. I get that the plus money is tempting considering that the Marlins have been competitive in spots and Cal Quantrill has been able to keep the Marlins in a lot of his starts. However, the Brewers are still white hot, Freddy Peralta's been strong at home, and I just think that it's hard to go against him in his current form. The Brewers should be able to keep it rolling here so give me Milwaukee in this one." — Chris Ruffolo, PickDawgz
"Miami has performed well of late with six wins in its last eight games, but does not have the pitching the Brewers have, nor the power at the plate. Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta is coming off a tough outing versus Los Angeles in which the right-hander gave up four runs in five innings, but overall this season has a 2.85 ERA, which is 15th in baseball, with a 1.08 WHIP .... Prediction: Miami Marlins +1.5." — Kevin Vallego, Winners and Whiners
"All signs point to a Milwaukee victory in this celebration game. The Brewers have the superior starting pitcher, a more reliable bullpen, and a more productive offense. Their recent 9-1 stretch demonstrates they're playing their best baseball of the season, and the special 25th-anniversary celebration (of playing at American Family Field) should provide additional motivation. While the Marlins have improved lately, going 6-4 in their last 10 games, they face a monumental challenge against Peralta, who has been nearly untouchable at home. Back the Brewers to win comfortably and continue their dominance as they extend their lead in the NL Central." — Joe Jensen, Predictem
