AAA's MLB BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT!
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -196.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 7* "BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT" on the Milwaukee Brewers.

After dropping the first two games of this series and with what I feel to be the vastly superior starter backing them tonight, I look for the home side Brewers to find a way to get the job done at the end of the finale. Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case I definitely feel that Milwuakee should be a bigger one. Good news for us, slugger Ryan Braun is expected back in the Brewers lineup tonight; Braun is slugging .455 with four dingers in his last 12 home games vs. the Phillies. Milwaukee sends Kyle Lohse (9-3, 3.18 ERA) to the hill; Lohse has been fantastic of late and there's no reason at all to think he won't carry that momentum over here, he's limited his opposition to three earned runs or fewer in 16 of his 18 starts this season. Note that Lohse is 3-0 with a 1.87 ERA in his last five meetings with Philadelphia as well. The visitors counter with the beleagured Roberto Hernandez (3-8, 4.48 ERA) who is 1-6 with a poor 5.45 ERA in his last seven starts. Hernandez would give up four runs over five innings in a 9-4 home loss to the Brewers on April 9th. With their grip on the division lead dwindling, with revenge on their minds and with the dominant starter throwing for them, all signs point to the BREWERS bouncing back today.
