#954 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 -105 on Run Line over Washington Nationals, Friday at 8:10 PM ET - Brett Anderson enters off a rare rough outing and, of all teams, it was against the Pirates! However, we can not ignore the fact that Anderson entered that start with a 1.40 ERA over the 5-start stretch before that rare dud. Anderson has a 2.81 ERA in 6 home starts this season. He'll be opposed by Patrick Corbin of the Nationals in this one. The Washington left-hander has a 6.36 ERA on the road this year and the Nationals have lost 8 of those 11 starts. Corbin has given up 6 homers in his last 3 starts. Washington is off back to back wins but this was on the heels of a 5-19 run. Milwaukee is off a loss but that was on the heels of an 18-6 run. This is clearly a case of two teams that are, overall, heading opposite directions! Additionally, 27 of the Brewers last 31 wins have been by a margin of 2 or more runs so we have no hesitation in laying the run line in this one and grabbing Milwaukee at -1.5 runs. Nationals are 21-35 on the road this season and 13-23 against left-handed starters. Also lets not forget about the bullpens here and Milwaukee rates a huge edge in that department on the season as well as the last 30 days. In fact, over the last 30 days the Brewers have a 3.12 ERA and rank 2nd in bullpen ERA while the Nationals bullpen ranks 28th with a 5.72 ERA. Per our computer math model an easy win for the home team by a multi-run margin is showing as a likely end result in this one. Adding to the value here is the fact that our play on team is available in a -105 pick'em price range on the run line. Take Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 on the run line.
