Mariners plus $1.51 at Brewers
Zach Davies is 7-1 with a 3.06 ERA. He is not nearly as good as those numbers show. The regression has started. Davies has a 7.82 ERA in his last three starts. He gave up five runs on nine hits in 2 2/3 innings against the Padres at pitcher-friendly Petco Park this past Wednesday during his last start.
Now Davies draws a hot-hitting Mariners club averaging eight runs a game in their past five games.
While Davies is returning to the norm, Seattle starter Marco Gonzales is back pitching well. The lefty is 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in his last three starts. He hasn’t given up more than two earned runs during each of those outings.
Milwaukee is 10-13 versus southpaw starters.
The Mariners are 5-4 in their last nine road games facing the Angels, Twins and A’s during this span.
The Brewers have lost the first game during each of their last four series.
