Brewers vs. Guardians Expert Predictions

This pitching matchup is fairly even. Gavin Williams has been mediocre, but he's a known entity. Logan Henderson has made just one start in his career, so he's unknown, but he was quite good in it.

On offense, the Brewers haven't scored in two full games. The Guardians have shut them out, and it's hard to envision them getting much offense today, either. Still, sweeps are hard to come by.

Prediction: Brewers 3, Guardians 2
