Guy Boston advised betting Marcus Stroman over 4.5 hits allowed against the Brewers, largely due to unfavorable pitch matchups. Stroman primarily utilizes a sinker, slider, and curveball—a trio of pitches the Brewers hammered last season, ranking 6th, 3rd, and 5th respectively in runs above average. Boston highlighted Stroman's struggles in a recent outing against Milwaukee, allowing six hits in just over four innings pitched. Milwaukee's recent offensive performance—scoring nine runs the previous game—suggests their bats are heating up. Boston warned that Stroman could exit early if he struggles again, but stressed that Milwaukee's historical effectiveness against his pitch mix makes the hits-allowed prop a strong play.
