Bryse Wilson (4-3, 3.84 ERA) vs. Adam Mazur (0-2, 7.82 ERA)
Bryse Wilson has established himself as an integral member of Milwaukee Brewers pitching rotation this season, consistently managing games effectively to post an ERA of 3.84 over 63.1 innings pitched. Wilson boasts 50 strikeouts to go along with his modest walk rate for an effective pitching style that minimizes scoring opportunities against his opposition despite permitting 9 homers (WHIP of 1.25 indicates this fact). This matchup could prove especially significant given that Wilson excels away games; given Brewers’ stellar road record!
