Friday’s MLB pick for readers was Milwaukee Brewers Team Total Over 4.5 Runs, and the Brewers got the job done.
Free Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Team Total Over 4.5 Runs
Result: Winner!
Final Score: Brewers 6, Phillies 0
Ticket Status: +$1,000 ✅
Milwaukee beat Philadelphia 6-0, which means the team total cleared comfortably. We needed the Brewers to score five or more runs, and they finished with six. ESPN’s box score shows Milwaukee scored in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th innings to cash the play.
The handicap was simple: instead of laying a moneyline or asking Milwaukee to cover the run line, we isolated the Brewers’ offense. The bet was not about the final margin. It was about Milwaukee getting to five runs against a vulnerable pitching setup.
That read played out. Even with Philadelphia using Tanner Banks as an opener before turning to Andrew Painter, Milwaukee still found the scoring path we wanted. Painter ended up allowing five runs over five innings, and the Brewers put the bet away in the 5th inning when Jake Bauers hit a three-run homer to make it 5-0.
That is exactly why team totals can be the sharper angle. We did not need the Phillies to contribute to a full-game over, and we did not need Milwaukee to win by multiple runs. We only needed the Brewers’ lineup to create enough traffic, convert scoring chances, and reach five runs.
They did.
