Chris Vasile laid out why he is backing the Brewers at -110 on the moneyline. He is actively fading Tampa Bay’s sputtering offense, noting that one isolated 5-run outburst is not enough to convince him the Rays have fixed a unit that ranks near the bottom of the league in wRC+ versus left-handed pitching. Vasile highlighted Jose Quintana’s "solid" start to 2025: a 2.91 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and five straight quality starts while averaging 6.2 innings per outing. Because Milwaukee’s bullpen has been spared heavy usage thanks to Quintana’s length, Vasile expects the lefty to attack a Rays lineup striking out 24.7% of the time against southpaws. In his view, Tampa’s lack of thump plus Quintana’s form makes the Brewers a value play in a coin-flip price range.

Just A Bet Outside backed Jose Quintana to clear 15.5 outs (record at least 16) against Tampa Bay. The host noted the Rays have been a disaster versus left-handers: third-lowest OBP and an impossibly bad .158 batting average over the last 30 days. Nine of 12 southpaw starters have beaten this line, with six of the last eight going a full six innings. Tampa’s sixth-highest first-pitch swing rate should give Quintana plenty of pitch-efficient outs. Quintana himself has logged at least five innings in every 2025 start, throwing 94, 98 and 91 pitches his last three. Outside of one blow-up at Wrigley he has not surrendered more than one earned run, and he averages a 2.83 ERA with a 4.9 % walk rate. The host expects the veteran lefty to reach the sixth on a 100-pitch leash and recommends betting the OVER at –125 before it moves to 18.5 outs.

Kenny G recommended backing the Brewers at –110 to halt their slide in St. Louis. Jose Quintana is 3-0 with a microscopic 0.96 ERA through three starts, and Milwaukee’s offense remains fifth in runs thanks to hot bats from Brice Turang and rookie Jackson Chourio. He expects them to scratch out enough against Eric Feedy, whose 3.33 ERA includes one blow-up outing. Both bullpens are shaky—Milwaukee carries a 5.13 ERA (third-worst) and St. Louis a 4.94 (bottom-six)—so Kenny cautioned he won’t count the ticket as a win until the final out, but he believes the better starter and urgent spot make Milwaukee the value side.

Zola warned managers not to chase Jose Quintana’s sparkling 0.96 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 18 2⁄3 innings. Quintana has struck out only nine hitters, and an unsustainable .236 BABIP plus a 96.6% strand rate mask his true talent. Advanced metrics (4.23 xFIP, 4.73 SIERA) signal imminent regression, and Sunday’s opponent, St. Louis, can stack right-handed bats. Zola suggested looking elsewhere for a streamer rather than betting on Quintana’s smoke-and-mirrors start to continue.

Savio recommended Brewers +115, citing Jose Quintana’s pristine start (2‑0, 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP) and a friendly setting at Oracle Park. Quintana silenced both the Diamondbacks and Tigers and now gets another run‑suppressed venue against a Giants offense ranked top‑6 in scoring but far less potent at home. The tout acknowledged San Francisco tagged Quintana in Yankee Stadium last season but stressed that was a hitter’s park and Quintana looks sharper in 2025. Meanwhile Jordan Hicks (1‑2, 6.04 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) has not adjusted to San Francisco, carrying over last year’s 4.10 ERA struggles. Savio expects Milwaukee’s bats— fresh off a power‑laden series in Oakland— to jump Hicks early, allowing Quintana and even a shaky bullpen to protect a lead.

Mike Maher identified Jose Quintana as a pickup where innings matter. Quintana is lined up for two road starts: first in spacious Oracle Park against the free‑swinging Giants, then in St. Louis. Maher admitted the matchups are "not great, not terrible" but emphasized that streaming two starts can squeeze 10–12 extra innings and 8–10 strikeouts out of a roster spot. If your staff needs bulk or you’re chasing wins in weekly formats, Quintana is one of the few arms offering that at low acquisition cost.

Mike Maher recommended scooping up veteran left‑hander Jose Quintana for a streaming boost, noting the 35‑year‑old is lined up for a two‑start week with the pitching‑needy Brewers. Quintana has opened the season with crisp command and a sub‑3.00 ERA, leaning on a revamped cutter/curve combo that is generating soft contact and grounders at a 48% clip. While his strikeout ceiling remains modest (career 7.5 K/9), Maher values the volume: Milwaukee is desperate for innings after a wave of injuries, so six‑plus frames and a shot at a win in both turns is realistic. In deeper roto or weekly‑lock leagues Maher views Quintana as an immediate add for ratios and potential double‑dip wins, with the understanding he can be streamed out again once the schedule toughens.

Guy Boston likes the Brewers first five innings moneyline largely based on Jose Quintana's recent dominance against Arizona, where he threw seven shutout innings with no walks and only four hits allowed. Quintana's left-handed pitching is another key factor, as the Tigers have struggled significantly in their limited sample against lefties this season. Despite some concern about the quality bullpen Detroit possesses and the unknown factor of Tigers pitcher Keider Montero, who was just called up, the pitching matchup and lefty matchup advantage strongly favors Milwaukee in the first five innings bet.

Cash Out Sports Picks is backing Milwaukee Brewers on the money line against Detroit, driven by Jose Quintana's outstanding team debut, where he threw 7 shutout innings and only allowed four hits. Additionally, Quintana has maintained an ERA below 3.75 across four consecutive years, indicating strong, consistent pitching ability. On the other hand, Detroit's starter Reese Olson has struggled noticeably in his first three starts, allowing a total of ten runs and at least six hits in his past two appearances. This pitching mismatch hints strongly toward a Milwaukee victory.

Kenny G is strongly considering the Brewers at -139 against Detroit, largely owing to Jose Quintana's impressive debut start where he pitched seven scoreless innings in a 7-0 win over Arizona. Kenny highlights Detroit rookie Keter Montero's uncertainty in his season debut, a scenario he views as shaky for the Tigers. The Brewers' bullpen troubles (5.60 ERA) are recognized but expected to regress positively. Milwaukee's offense, despite middling batting average and OBP numbers, still ranks tied for sixth in runs scored this season, suggesting offensive competency. Contrasted with Detroit's bats cooling off significantly after a shutout yesterday and trending towards offensive regression, Kenny confidently terms Milwaukee as having strong matchup advantages and quite appealing value on Quintana's pitching strength.
