(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -134.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 1* free play on the Milwaukee Brewers.

I think the home side bounces back here after yesterday's 8-3 setback. Milwaukee sends Wily Peralta (15-7, 3.27 ERA) to the hill; Peralta has been "lights out" of late, he's 6-1 with a tiny 1.59 ERA over the last six weeks. Most recently Peralta would allow five hits over six scoreless innings in his team's 7-2 win at Dodger Stadium on Sunday; note that Peralta has been especially dominant of late, he's won four consecutive starts at home behind a minuscule 1.03 ERA (and note that he's 2-0 with a very respectable 2.25 ERA in three lifetime starts vs. the Bucs). Milwaukee faces Edinson Volquez (10-7, 3.58 ERA) who has also been great of late, he's 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA in four starts in August. The Brewers though have won 10 of the last 14 in this series and I think that trend gets extended here; Peralta gets the slight nod on the bump in my opinion, consider a second look at the home side in this spot.
