Robert Gasser vs. Eury Pérez: Sunday's Pitching Matchup
Robert Gasser has been developing as one of the more intriguing arms in the Milwaukee rotation. The left-hander's ability to keep hitters off-balance and generate weak contact will be central to how the Brewers fare on Sunday. Across from him, Eury Pérez brings his own considerable upside to the mound for Miami. The young Marlins right-hander has the stuff to keep any lineup honest, and Milwaukee's hitters will need to be disciplined early in counts to have success against him.
This matchup pits two pitchers whose trajectories are worth monitoring the rest of this season. Gasser working at home in front of an American Family Field crowd is an advantage the Brewers will look to press from the first inning.

Keys to Watch in Sunday's Game
Yelich and Chourio Setting the Table
The top of Milwaukee's order is the engine of this offense. When Yelich gets on base and Chourio follows with power or contact, it creates pressure that forces pitchers into difficult counts. If those two are clicking, the middle of the order — Turang, Vaughn, and Bauers — gets better pitches to hit.
Gasser's Command Against a Scrappy Miami Lineup
Miami's lineup features several players who can put the ball in play and create chaos on the bases — particularly Esteury Ruiz, who has speed that can change a game in a hurry. Gasser will need to keep his pitch count manageable and limit free passes to prevent Miami from manufacturing runs without big hits.
Garrett Mitchell's Role in the Middle of the Order
Mitchell batting sixth gives Milwaukee an athletic presence in the heart of the order who can impact the game with his legs and his arm in center field. His at-bats against Pérez will be worth watching, particularly if Milwaukee has runners on base.
Prediction
Gasser is at home, which matters. American Family Field crowds have a way of lifting the Brewers rotation, and Milwaukee's lineup has the depth to wear down a young starter like Pérez by the middle innings. Expect the Brewers to get to Pérez in the fourth or fifth inning and pull away. Milwaukee wins, 5-2.
