Prediction published on 4/2/25, 9:45 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/16/26 at 4:30 PM in MLB Picks

The Brewers and Royals managers saved their star pitchers for the final game of the series. So, the starting lineup for Game 2 remained in suspense until the very end. Therefore, the pitching duel on Wednesday will be Ragans for the Royals against Peralta for the Brewers.

The Brewers' pitching has had a tough time starting 2025, being mistreated by the Yankees in New York but also by the Royals in their season opener at American Family Field. Before Tuesday's game, the Brewers' pitching, with the 11 runs the Royals gave up to open the series, reached 45 ER, in addition to allowing 17 HR.

In turn, Kris Bubic dominated the Brewers' batting in Game 1 of the series. Bubic held a 4-run lead for most of the game and struck out 8 Brewers. In Game 1, Chourio, Yelich, Contreras, and Hoskins went 1-for-13. The Royals took Game 1 as betting underdogs, and the odds are extremely close for Wednesday's Ragans-Peralta matchup.
