The Brew Crew is hitting and pitching, and is 5-1 heading into tonight\u2019s series opener against the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Kansas City bats have been relatively quiet to start the season, so keeping up with Milwaukee could be a problem.<\/p>\n My Brewers vs. Royals predictions<\/strong> have MLB picks<\/a> on the side and total for this interleague matchup set to get underway at 7:45 pm ET at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, on Friday, April 3.<\/p>\n The Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> have been playing some great baseball to start the season. They\u2019ve been getting production up and down the lineup and matchup against an inexperienced starter.<\/p>\n Luinder Avila<\/a> got called up from Triple-A to replace Michael Wacha (illness). He\u2019s a hard-throwing right-hander who\u2019s the Kansas City Royals<\/a>‘ No. 9-ranked prospect, but he\u2019s in a tough spot.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Brew Crew enters this game ranked third in both wRC+ and OPS and has plated six or more runs in five of its six games this season.<\/p>\n With the Royals’ offence off to a slow start, I love the price with Milwaukee.<\/p>\n Covers<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n COVERS INTEL:<\/strong><\/p>\n Brice Turang is hitting .409 with a 1.227 OPS with five extra-base hits and five RBIs so far this season.<\/p>\n Chad Patrick<\/a> gets the ball for the Brewers.
