The Milwaukee Brewers have started the second half of the season strong winning five of their first seven games. They've split the first two of a four-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field after a 2-1 win Friday, and I like the Brew Crew to take the lead in the series with another win tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The D'backs will hand the ball to Rubby De La Rosa (7-5, 4.83) who's off seven innings of one-run ball against the Fish but had struggled in his previous two outings conceding 10 runs on 16 hits over just 8 2/3 innings of work. He conceded four runs on six hits with two homers in five innings against the Brewers back in May. Milwaukee will counter with rookie phenom Taylor Jungmann (5-1, 2.04 ERA) who's posted a 2.04 ERA over his first eight starts in the big leagues. The Brewers have won each of his last five starts with the 25 year old right-hander going 3-0 behind a 1.80 ERA.

2. Road Warriors - The visitors are posting a losing road record for the year going 23-25, but they've won eight of their last nine away from home when visiting a team with a losing record and they've won five of the last seven meetings at Arizona.

3. X-Factor - Adam Lind is 5-for-8 with two doubles, a homer and no strikeout off De La Rosa lifetime.

Selection: This is a play on the Milwaukee Brewers (10*)
