The disastrous start to the 2026 season for the Boston Red Sox continues. After a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in their series opener, they have now fallen to 2-8. The Brewers, on the other hand, are sitting at 8-2 on the year.

Despite that, the Brewers are set as underdogs in Game 2 of their three-game set. Let's dive into the odds and everything you need to know to bet this game.

Brewers vs. Red Sox Best Prop Bet

• Christian Yelich 2+ Hits (+320)

Christian Yelich has been red-hot to start the season. He has been batting .395 through the Brewers' first 10 games, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. Despite that, he has the fourth-longest odds on the Brewers to have a multi-hit game. Let's take advantage of his hot start and take a shot on him at +320 to record at least two hits.

Brewers vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of betting $100 Every Day for a Year, I wrote about why I'm backing the Brewers as underdogs:

I'm not going to overthink this bet. We have one of the hottest teams in the Majors taking on a team that's stumbling out of the gates, and the one that's been playing better baseball is set as the underdog. The Brewers are third in wRC+, while the Red Sox come in at 20th.

I'll take the Brewers as underdogs in this spot every time.
