The Coach's MLB Heavy Hitter - (Bigtime Blowout Potential)
(MLB) Washington vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -107.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -107.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
The Brewers host the Nats at Miller Park tonight, and Washington is looking to build on the momentum of a 5-4 win in the Bronx last night. They had lost six of seven previously, but a date with the Brewers could be just what the doctor ordered.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Brewers hand the ball to Matt Garza, who is having a disappointing season so far. Garza (4-7, 5.09 ERA) allowed one run on six hits over seven frames in a win over the Twins in his last start. He hasn't had much success against the Nats, going 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in his last three starts against them. The Nats counter with Tanner Roark, who has looked sharp since taking over for Doug Fister.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Jayson Werth is 6-for-14 (.429) with a home run and a pair of RBIs lifetime versus Garza.
3. X-Factor - The Nats have won six of their last eight at Miller Park, while the Brewers have lost seven of their last eight home games.
Selection: This is a play on the Washington Nationals (10*)
