Kansas City Royals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/02/25

After splitting the first 2 games of the series, the Kansas City Royals and Milwaukee Brewers are set for a Wednesday afternoon rubber match. The Royals dominated Monday’s contest with an 11-1 win, but the Brewers were able to bounce back with a 5-0 win on Tuesday. It was the first win of the season for Milwaukee, who is still finding its footing to start the 2025 campaign. The pitching staff is off to a particularly rough start, as the Brewers have allowed a league-leading 47 runs through 5 games. So, Tuesday night’s shutout was a bit surprising to see.

The Royals will send Cole Ragans to the mound, who was second in the American League with 223 strikeouts a year ago. It was a breakout campaign for the now 27-year-old left-hander, who will be looking to bounce back from a subpar first outing of 2025. Ragans allowed 5 hits and 3 earned runs while striking out just 3 batters against Cleveland back on March 27. It’s a small sample size, but Milwaukee is hitting just .208 with a .554 OPS in 96 at bats against lefties so far this season. Ragans should be able to get back on track in this spot. Consider backing the Royals on the road.
