Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
José Quintana takes the mound for Milwaukee in his 21st start of the season. He’s posted a solid 3.32 ERA over 111.2 innings and has reached double-digits in wins. Quintana’s FIP is higher than his ERA but he isn’t expected to regress dramatically. Nabil Crismatt makes just his third appearance of the season after allowing one run over nine innings in his first two. We haven’t seen enough of Crismatt to make any sweeping determinations about his future but he’s off to a promising start.
Key Players
- William Contreras is in fine form and hit a home run in yesterday’s loss for the Brewers.
- Geraldo Perdomo has been hot for Arizona. His home run in the eighth inning last night gave the Diamondbacks an insurance run that ended up keeping them ahead for good.
Recent team streaks
- The Diamondbacks ended a three-game losing streak with their victory at home over the Brewers on Wednesday night.
- Milwaukee has won two of the first three games of this series and had a two-game winning streak broken in their last game.
Best Player Props

Win Probability: Brewers 58%, Diamondbacks 42%
Final Thoughts
The Milwaukee Brewers are at home and have a significant starting pitching advantage in this contest. I am expecting some regression from Nabil Crismatt on the hill for Arizona here and for the Brewers to claim the season series with a win over the snakes. My best bet for this game is for the Brewers to cover the runline, as they should win by two runs or more with Quintana pitching.
