Milwaukee hosts Toronto in a high-stakes NL vs AL showdown during a brutal 19-game-in-18-days stretch. Freddy Peralta has been elite lately, three straight scoreless starts and a 2.68 ERA, while Shane Bieber returns for Toronto after Tommy John rehab. Chourio is sidelined, so Blake Perkins starts in center and Brice Turang leads off with Contreras, Yelich, and Vaughn driving the middle. Zastryzny was activated, boosting a Brewers bullpen that will be key in the series opener at 6:07 p.m. CT.

Woodruff is back on the mound for Milwaukee after his bumpiest start of the year, yet his 2.47 ERA remains elite and he touched a season-high 94 pitches last time out. He squarely profiles as the key win upside in this four-game set against Eduardo Rodríguez and the Diamondbacks, who come in with a 5.40 ERA through 23 starts. Milwaukee’s top-of-the-order is anchored by Brice Turang, with Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Isaac Collins ahead of a mix of speed and contact, while Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick, and William Contreras provide outfield coverage and solid plate discipline behind the dish. Contreras has cooled recently (.154 over the last week) but has drawn five walks in that span. The game starts at 6:40 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on the Brewers Radio Network along with FanDuel Wisconsin and Telemundo Wisconsin.

Milwaukee hopes to salvage their homestand after a series loss to the Giants, riding a rotation that includes Woodruff’s steady strike- and pitch-count approach and a lineup capable of generating runs with Turang setting the table and Frelick piloting baserunning. Arizona counter Rodríguez, who has struggled to a 5.40 ERA this month, giving the Brewers a premium chance to exploit the mid-tier start. This clash sets up as a fantasy-friendly one for the Brewers’ role players and a potential turning point in the series.
