Tobias Meyersof the Milwaukee Brewers in a Smash Spot vs. the Chicago White Sox: Start Him and Bet on Him

Automatic Start Against a Floundering White Sox Team

Sometimes matchups are so obvious that there’s not much analysis needed, and that’s exactly the case for Meyers as he prepares to start for the Brewers against the White Sox.

The White Sox have been an offensive disaster for most of 2025. Outside of a few bright spots — Luis Robert Jr. (likely trade bait), and Andrew Benintendi — the lineup is devoid of consistent threats. It’s a batting order you want to attack, and Meyers, even as a lower-profile right-hander, becomes an immediate streaming and betting target because of it.

As we’ve said about the Colorado Rockies (away from Coors Field), the White Sox have become a “default start your pitchers against them" team. If Meyers is on your fantasy roster or available on waivers, this is as green a light as you’re going to get.

Betting Angle: Several Ways to Back Meyers

Tobias Meyers’ matchup against Chicago offers multiple betting opportunities:

• Brewers Moneyline: This is the obvious angle. Milwaukee should be favored, but even at juiced odds, they are worth parlaying or backing straight up.

• Tobias Meyers Strikeouts Over: The White Sox have a high team strikeout rate. If Meyers’ strikeout prop is set conservatively (say around 4.5 or 5.5), the over is appealing.

• First Five Innings Spread: If you want to avoid bullpen shenanigans, taking Milwaukee -0.5 in the first five innings isolates the Meyers vs. White Sox mismatch.

• Brewers Team Total Over: The White Sox’s pitching and bullpen woes also make Milwaukee a solid bet to score runs.

Fantasy and Long-Term Outlook

From a fantasy perspective, Meyers is an ideal short-term streamer. He’s not necessarily a long-term hold in standard formats yet, but against a lineup like Chicago’s, he can deliver an easy quality start, a handful of strikeouts, and a chance at a win.

If he performs well, it might even open the door for Meyers to solidify a bigger role in Milwaukee’s rotation moving forward, giving him some sneaky fantasy relevance down the stretch.

Final Word: All Systems Go for Tobias Meyers

There are no red flags here. Tobias Meyers is a must-start in fantasy formats and a strong betting target against a feeble White Sox offense.

Verdict: Start Meyers, bet on the Brewers, and consider attacking his strikeout prop for added value.
