Oakland Athletics vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. I think that Oakland’s best chance at a win in this series was in Friday’s Game, and Milwaukee jumped on Oakland early and often. I don’t love what I’ve seen from Joe Boyle to this point, and I think Colin Rea is just the better option by a fair margin here. Give me the Brewers in this one.
