The Milwaukee Brewers (79-62) will aim for a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees (70-72) on Sunday morning. Milwaukee rallied late to win again on Saturday. The Brewers combined for seven runs off the Yankees’ bullpen in the final two frames for a lopsided 9-2 win. Milwaukee tallied 11 hits, including seven by the 1-4 hitters (Frelick, Contreras, Santana, Canha).
Meanwhile, The Brewers’ bullpen was excellent, twirling 5.1 innings of shutout baseball. They allowed just three hits and one walk during that span. Both New York runs came off starter Wade Miley, who allowed two runs, one earned, on one hit and three walks in 3.2 innings.

Corbin Burnes will toe the slab for the Brewers on Sunday. The three-time All-Star has never faced the Bronx Bombers. However, he is 12-2 with a 2.70 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 143.1 innings against the American League. He also has similar splits regardless of his opponent’s record. Burnes owns a 3.13 ERA on the road this season compared to a 4.35 ERA at home. Burnes has never faced any of the active Yankees.
Burnes has been hit-or-miss over his last five starts, tossing two seven-inning gems but giving up a combined 15 runs in the other three starts. The former Cy Young Award winner owns a 4.55 ERA during that span. Opposing batters are hitting .271 against Burnes over his last five starts.
Gerrit Cole will pitch against Burnes. The six-time All-Star is 4-4 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 14 starts against the Brew Crew. The former Pittsburgh Pirates last faced them in 2022, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks in five innings. Cole possesses a 3.23 ERA at home this season compared to a 2.51 ERA on the road. His splits have been similar regardless of opponent.
Brewers star Chrisitan Yelich has a history of hitting well against Cole, going 9-for-22 with three home runs off the Cy Young favorite in the AL. Teammate Carlos Santana also has an OPS north of .800 against Cole. Conversely, Willy Adames, Rowdy Tellez, and Mark Canha are hitting under .175 against the Yankees hurler.
Cole is 3-1 with a 3.64 ERA in his previous five outings. Opposing lineups have posted a .661 off Cole during that span. He has been unlucky, with a BAbip of .303 against the righty since an August 13 start against Miami.
Batter Trends
The Brewers have a stable of hot bats heading into Sunday’s finale. Trade deadline acquisition Mark Canha is ten for his last 28, including two base knocks on Saturday. Infielder Willy Adames has also turned a corner, going 5-for-13 in his previous three games. He has smacked two home runs, a double, and a triple during that span. Andruw Monasterio, Carlos Santana, and William Contreras are all hitting over .295 over the past seven days.
Outside Sal Frelick, the rest of the Brewers regulars have posted an OPS under .600 over the past seven days.
Brewers vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
I like the under in this matchup. The Brewers will look for the three-game sweep on Sunday, but they will have their hands full with ace Gerrit Cole taking the bump. Likewise, the Yankees won’t have that much of an easier task with Milwaukee sending Burnes to the mound. So, let’s roll with the under in this getaway tilt.
Prediction: Under 7.5 (-120)
