The Milwaukee Brewers will visit the Detroit Tigers for a three-game series beginning on Tuesday. Here is what you should know beforehand:

The Records

Following a 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday, the Brewers are 12-9 and fell to last place in a crowded, competitive National League Central Division in which no team has a losing record. Milwaukee, however, has won four of its last five games after a six-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, the Tigers possess a 12-11 record while sitting in second place in the American League Central Division. After recently dropping five straight games, the Tigers went on a six-game winning streak and have won eight of their last 10 games.

The Pitching Matchup

The probable pitchers for Tuesday's series opener are Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison versus Tigers right-hander Keider Montero.

This season, Harrison has made three starts and has notched a 1-1 record with a 3.07 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. Through 14 ⅔ innings pitched, Harrison has 15 strikeouts while allowing 12 hits, five earned runs, and four walks.

Montero has also made three starts and holds a 1-1 record. Additionally, he possesses a 3.31 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP with 16 strikeouts while allowing six earned runs, 12 hits, and two walks over 16 ⅓ innings of work.

The Numbers: Hitting

When it comes to hitting, the Brewers have endured multiple games in which the batting order has struggled. This had led to Milwaukee having a .232 batting average, which ranks No. 18 of the 30 MLB teams as of April 20.

The Tigers possess the No. 11 batting average at .245. In terms of team OPS, Detroit and Milwaukee are both closer to the middle of the pack, with the Tigers sitting at No. 13 with a .707 OPS and the Brewers at No. 15 with a .705 OPS.
