Normally I wouldnt bet on a team that is 3-13 since May 1st but Milwaukee is playing really hard in this series. Down 6-0 in the opening game they kept on fighting but lost 7-6. Then yesterday they were down 2-0 early, tied it up and took a 4-2 lead, only to lose it in the next inning. They kept on playing and won it 6-4 in extra innings. And not only that. They faced Lynn (25-9 in his career) and Garcia (39-25 in his career) and both those guys entered this weekend games with ERA under 3. Milwaukee scored 10 runs in 10.1 innings against those two guys. As a reward they fill face a guy making his 2nd MLB start. Lohse was 30-11 in last two seasons with Cardinals but lost his two starts against his former team this season. He was 9-1 in Busch Stadium last season with ERA of 2.30 and he allowed only 2 runs in 7 innings of work in his first trip to St.Louis this season. Unfortunately for him his team scored no runs in that game. I am sure Lohse & Brew Crew have big time revenge on their minds today. Milwaukee +111
Lost yesterday but Milwaukee had its chances down 4-2 late in the game when they loaded the bases with no outs but scored no runs in that inning.
Call me crazy but I will go with Milwaukee again. Kershaw is good but he has no wins in last 5 road starts. LA Dodgers dropped 6 straight road games. The X-factor is Gallardo. He is 24-6 in last 30 decisions at home. By the way, Kershaw threw 132 pitches in his last start. He eclipsed #120 three times in his career and his ERA in starts following games with 120+ pitches thrown is 6.30.
Milwaukee +123
(5-2, +398)

Atlanta won two games this past weekend after trailing thru 7 innings of play. They also won their Friday game despite trailing after 6.5 innings of play. It is hard to believe but they trailed after 4 innings in all of their last 10 games and in their last 5 games they trailed after 6.5 in each game. At some point their late game magic will be gone. Minnesota is not a good team but they are 9-9 on the road without being favored in any road game this season. Correia is their leader in ERA, WHIP and wins and I believe that we have some value with Twins in this situation today. Minnesota +145
