The Milwaukee Brewers come into Game 2 of this home series versus Washington off back-to-back wins. They look to make it three straight, and I like their chances as they face a struggling Nationals pitcher at home in this spot.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Matt Garza will make his third appearance of the season for the Brewers, and his first start in Milwaukee. He tossed six scoreless innings in a no decision versus the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine in his last outing. The Nats will send Gio Gonzalez to the mound, and the former 20 game winner is just 3-6 this season, and he's winless in his last six starts.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Gonzalez hasn't fooled the Brewers, who are hitting a combined .319 against him in past meetings. Jonathan Lucroy absolutely owns the left-hander, going 6-for-8 lifetime with three RBIs.

3. X-Factor - The Brewers are 6-0 in their last six home games versus a left-handed starter.

Selection: This is a play on the Milwaukee Brewers +1.5 (8*)
