Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Milwaukee Brewers.

I like the home side to take advantage of a discombobulated visiting side and to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. The visitors send Mike Leake (7-8, 3.63 ERA) to the hill; Leake is 0-1 with a poor 5.54 ERA over his last two starts, yilding 17 hits overall and four runs in each of those games. Note that he owns an unremarkable 4.99 ERA in five starts at Miller Park. The home side counters with Kyle Lohse (10-4, 3.16 ERA) who is 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in two starts against Cincinnati this season, but who is 2-1 with a very respectable 1.99 ERA vs. the Reds in front of the home town crowd in 2013. While Lohse wasn't at his best vs. the Nats on Friday, he still came away with the win, constantly throwing out of trouble, giving up a season-high ten hits but only yielding one run over seven innings in the 4-2 victory. And that's bad news for the scuffling Reds who are 4.5 games back and who are hitting .186 on an 0-5 six-game road trip. The home side is trending in the opposite direction, after a seven-game skid at Miller Park the Brewers have now won three-straight in Milwaukee, slugger Ryan Braun has led the charge by hitting .410 with two homers and eight RBIs during a 10-game overall hitting streak. Lohse gets the nod on the bump, the Brewers get the nod in the momentum department and those two factors collide making this a price we can absolutely live with; play on MILWAUKEE.
