Overview
The Milwaukee Brewers host the Boston Red Sox at American Family Field in what promises to be a compelling interleague showdown. Scheduled for May 29, 2025, at 2:10 KST, this matchup features two teams with contrasting strengths—Milwaukee with a deep, resilient pitching staff and Boston with one of the league’s more contact-oriented offenses. However, injuries have significantly impacted Boston’s lineup, which may tilt the edge in favor of Milwaukee.
Team Key Players
Milwaukee Brewers
- Freddy Peralta (SP): The ace of the staff, boasting a 2.55 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 60 innings, gives the Brewers a commanding presence on the mound.
- Rhys Hoskins (1B): With a .292 average and .871 OPS, Hoskins remains a consistent run producer in the heart of Milwaukee’s lineup.
- William Contreras (C): Providing solid two-way performance behind the plate, Contreras adds depth to the offense with a .738 OPS.
Boston Red Sox
- Rafael Devers (3B/DH): Despite injuries around him, Devers leads the Red Sox with 12 home runs and 48 RBIs, batting .297.
- Wilyer Abreu (RF): A rising contributor, Abreu brings power and on-base skills with a .866 OPS.
- Garrett Crochet (SP): With a 1.98 ERA, Crochet is a breakout starter, but his challenge will be facing a more balanced Milwaukee order.
Game Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers are favored to win this matchup due to their superior pitching depth, fewer injuries, and better bullpen performance. While Boston’s offense has high-end talent, the loss of key bats like Bregman and Casas limits their overall threat. Expect Milwaukee to control the tempo and capitalize on Boston’s weakened lineup.
