The Brewers are slight favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. They have been strong at home and are coming off a dominant performance in the series opener. With their pitching staff in good form and the Astros struggling offensively in the previous game, Milwaukee has the edge. Backing the Brewers on the moneyline at -114 offers solid value.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Christian Yelich Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Yelich has been a key contributor for the Brewers, and his ability to get on base and hit for power makes this prop appealing. Facing an Astros pitching staff that struggled in the opener, Yelich is poised for another strong performance.

2. Framber Valdez Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Valdez is a strikeout machine, and despite the Astros' loss in the opener, he remains a bright spot in their rotation. The Brewers' lineup has shown vulnerability to strikeouts, making this a favorable prop.

3. Willy Adames to Record an RBI (+150)

Adames has been clutch for the Brewers in key situations. With the Astros' pitching staff under pressure, Adames has a good chance to drive in runs, especially with runners in scoring position.
