The Atlanta Braves have the second-worst record in the majors at 12-31, but they've done alright lately winning three of their past five. Tuesday night's opponent the Milwaukee Brewers have just one win in their past five, and I think the Braves are looking good to improve on their record with a win here.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Brewers hand the ball to Jimmy Nelson (4-3, 3.07 ERA) who conceded five hits and four walks in 7 1/3 scoreless innings against the Cubs his last start. He has however compiled a 4.41 ERA in three outings on the road this year, surrendering 14 hits and nine walks over 16 1/3 innings of work. The Braves counter with Julio Teheran (1-4, 2.73) who has posted a 1.15 ERA in his last six starts. He is 2-2 in five career starts against Milwaukee behind a 2.04 ERA.

2. Road Woes - The Brewers are batting a MLB-worst .222 on the road this season scoring an average of 3.85 runs per game. They've lost five of their past six on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Braves have won 10 of the last 13 meetings with the Brewers.

Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Braves first 5 innings (8*)
