On Wednesday afternoon, the Brewers could aim to sweep the Astros at American Family Field. Both teams have a close record, the Astros at 17-18 and the Brewers at 19-18.

The bookmakers' odds for Game 2 between the Brewers and Astros were extremely accurate, setting the Game Total line at 7.5 and the Brewers as slight favorites at -120, and the game ended 3-4 in favor of Milwaukee. The Brewers produced all the runs they needed in the first inning, four thanks to an RBI double by Hoskins and a two-run home run by Bauers. In the seventh, the Astros responded with a three-run home run by Rodgers, his first of the season, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit.

The well-known Framber Valdez will start Game 3 for the Astros, hoping to avoid a sweep. He has a 1-4 record. His April 8 start against the Mariners remains his best of the season, as he pitched six scoreless innings and struck out eight, but other starts have generally been poor.

Houston Astros - Milwaukee Brewers Key Points

  1. Brewers are the second-most stolen base team in MLB in 2025
  2. Brewers' pitching allowed 43 home runs this season
  3. Valdez allowed four runs in his last start
  4. Brewers are averaging 4.7 runs per game

Our Houston Astros vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are on a three-game winning streak, while the Astros are on a three-game losing streak. The Astros, however, have never lost four in a row this season. Therefore, it may not be a good idea to bet against the Astros. Valdez couldn't dominate the White Sox's weak lineup, but Brewers starter Priester isn't putting up particularly encouraging numbers either: he has 17 strikeouts in 23 innings but 16 walks. He also has a sky-high ERA of 5.79. Our prediction for Brewers vs Astros is: Over 7.5 runs.
