7* play on Houston Astros.
The Houston Astros and the Milwaukee Brewers have split the first two contests of a three-game set at Miller Park. I think we're getting a fair price on the visitors in today's rubber-match as they send their ace to the mound.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Astros hand the ball to Dallas Keuchel (1-0, 2.57 ERA) who impressed in his season-debut when he held the Yankees to two runs on three hits over seven innings of a 5-3 win in the Bronx. He has a 11.68 ERA in three career starts against Milwaukee, but he's not faced the Brewers since 2012 and Keuchel is obviously a much more accomplished pitcher nowadays. The Brew Crew will counter with Jimmy Nelson (0-1, 2.45) who was charged with the loss in his season-debut despite holding the Giants two two runs on five hits in seven-plus frames. He was 0-4 with a 6.82 ERA in six day starts last season and could easily get lit up today.
2. Tyler White - The Astros had the second most homers in baseball last season and now they've added rookie Tyler White to the mix. White is 10-for-15 with nine RBI so far and has homered three games in a row to become the first Astro with three home runs in his first five games.
3. X-Factor - The Astros are 9-1 in their last 10 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter, the Brewers are 0-7 in their last seven games vs. a left-handed starter.
Selection: This is a play on the Houston Astros (7*)
