Milwaukee at Washington

The Milwaukee Brewers are the surprise team in the NL this season. They start the second half in first place - a position no one imagined when the season started. The Brewers have had a strong offense, and with Kyle Lohse on the hill today with his 9-4 record and 3.26 ERA, they have a good shot here. Stephen Strasburg has yet to parlay his great stuff into a huge amount of success. He enters this game at 7-6 and owns an ERA of 3.46. He has yet to solve the Brewers in two starts where he is 0-1 with a career 5.40 ERA against them. Milwaukee is an impressive 12-1 behind Lohse to a line of +110 to +150 in his last 13 starts, which includes 9-0 when taking the slab as a road dog. Play on Milwaukee.
