Money Line: -179.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: This series features a couple of lop-sided mis-matches on the mound and this is one of them. The visitors hand the ball to the erratic Sal Romano, while the home side goes with the steady Junior Guerra.
The pitchers: Romano is so far 7-10 with a 5.31 ERA. He most recently was shelled for six runs off seven hits with two walks over 1.2 innings in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday. Romano has been terrible overall this year, but especially on the road with the 2-5, 5.67 ERA.
Guerra is so far 6-8 with a 3.73 ERA. He comes in off a poor outing as well, giving up seven runs off nine hits over 3.2 innings in a setback to the Cubs. It was the first time in three starts he failed to record a quality outing. Guerra's been solid overall, especially at home with a 3-2, 2.59 ERA record.
The pick: I believe Romano's road struggles continue and that makes Guerra the correct call in this particular match-up. I can live paying this price as I expect a rout. Play on Milwaukee.
