The Milwaukee Brewers and Detroit Tigers are wrapping up a 2-game set today in Detroit at 1:10pm ET. Besides being played during prime work gambling hours, it’s also on MLB Network. I don’t even know how I would begin explaining to the group chat that I don’t have action on this game. It’s a meatball right down the middle of the plate. We have to swing. I’m thinking same game parlay.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Detroit Tigers under 7.5 (+152) *alt line
Brandon Woodruff 10+ strikeouts (+700)
Parlay odds: +867
Milwaukee Brewers vs Detroit Tigers under 7.5 (+152) *alt line
Nobody in their right mind likes an under but it seems like the move today. Our MLB team has the under 9 as a 2-star move so getting under 7.5 at +152 seems like a good way to get in. If you’re going to take an under, be strong about it. Honestly, I feel good with Brandon Woodruff on the mound in a pitcher-friendly park. He had his “bad” game last time out against the Philadelphia Phillies, so that’s out of the way. So far this season any time he’s given up 4 or more earned runs in a game, he hasn’t given up more than 1 earned run in the next game. He’s a bounce-back guy. I don’t think he’ll have much of a problem with the Tigers today. If Tigers’ starter Matt Manning can just limit the Brewers a little, we can get home on this number.

I’ll admit, this is a little crazy. It’s borderline reckless even. But it’s why we only bet .1 unit on parlays and honestly, is it that crazy? He’s done this 4 times this season, so he can be considered a double-digits guy. He just did it 2 starts ago against the Cincinnati Reds, so there is that too. Plus that start was immediately following a game in which he gave up 6 earned runs. I’m telling you, he’s a bounce-back guy. You can trust bounce-back guys. Especially when they have a beard as smooth as Woodruff’s. And when they’re pitching against teams that have struck out 56 times in their last 177 at bats. If anyone can get 10+ today, it’s our guy Woodruff.
