White Sox at Brewers

O/U 7.5 · RL Brewers -1.5 · American Family Field

GARY'S PICK

MLBvs White Sox· -166

Sunday afternoon baseball under the roof at American Family Field, where the Brewers are looking to complete an opening weekend sweep over the struggling White Sox. Milwaukee hands the ball to Brandon Sproat, a high-upside prospect who showed electric stuff this spring with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and a heavy 52 percent groundball rate. He is backed by a pristine infield defense that provides a massive safety net for a rookie starter. On the other side, Anthony Kay takes the mound for Chicago. While Kay pitched well overseas last year, his transition back to the major leagues has been rocky, evidenced by a 4.95 spring ERA and 10 walks over 20 innings. Against a surging Milwaukee lineup, those free passes are a recipe for an early exit. The offensive disparity in this series has been staggering. Milwaukee has already plated 20 runs through two games, hitting .348 as a team. While they did suffer two fresh, significant blows with hand injuries to Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio over the last few days, their lineup depth remains formidable. Brice Turang, Joey Ortiz, and Christian Yelich are all swinging incredibly hot bats to start the year, constantly putting runners on base. Meanwhile, the White Sox are batting a collective .129. Outside of Munetaka Murakami, who has homered in back-to-back games, Chicago simply has not found a way to string hits together or generate sustained run production. The tipping point in this series finale lies in the bullpens. Because Milwaukee’s offense handled business easily in the first two blowout wins, their high-leverage relievers, including Trevor Megill, are completely fresh and untested. Conversely, the White Sox bullpen is already exhausted after covering heavy innings in lopsided defeats. If Sproat runs into any Opening Week jitters against Murakami or Austin Hays, the Brewers have an elite safety net ready to deploy. With Chicago fielding a taxed relief corps behind a starter who has historically struggled with a 1.61 career WHIP, Milwaukee has every fundamental edge required to control this game from the middle innings onward.

Props on this game

GARY'S PICK
WILLIAM CONTRERASH+R+RBI OVER 1.5
MLBMilwaukee Brewers· -126
2:10 PM ET
William Contreras is the engine of a Brewers offense that has completely dismantled the White Sox pitching staff over the first two games of this series, scoring 20 runs. Contreras, batting second, draws a highly favorable matchup against Anthony Kay, a left-handed pitcher making his first MLB start since 2021. Kay has historically struggled with traffic on the bases, evidenced by a career 1.61 WHIP. With the Brewers projected for a high run total and Contreras serving as a primary run-producer and table-setter, he has multiple paths to clearing this 1.5 combined line through either multi-hit performance or scoring/driving in runs in what is expected to be another productive day for the Milwaukee lineup.

GARY'S PICK
MUNETAKA MURAKAMIHITS OVER 0.5
MLBChicago White Sox· -175
2:10 PM ET
Munetaka Murakami has been the lone bright spot for a struggling White Sox offense, becoming one of the few players in franchise history to homer in his first two career games. He faces a right-handed starter in Brandon Sproat who is making his Major League debut. Murakami holds the platoon advantage and has already demonstrated that his elite Japanese power translates to MLB pitching. While the White Sox lineup around him is thin, Murakami's disciplined approach and current hot streak make him a high-probability candidate to record at least one hit against a rookie pitcher likely to face early-career nerves and command challenges.
