The set-up: This series features a couple of match-ups of struggling starters and this is one of them. I think runs will be plentiful tonight. The visitors hand the ball to Robert Stephenson, while the home side goes with Freddy Peralta.
The pitchers: Stephenson is so far 0-1 with a 7.94 ERA. Stephenson has always looked sharp in Triple-A, but that success has so far not translated over into the big leagues. He was 5-6 with a 4.68 ERA last season, including just 1-3 with a 6.19 ERA on the road.
Peralta is so far 5-4 with a 4.48 ERA. Not surprisingly the rookie has been "hit or miss" this year, showing great strike-out potential, but also displaying shaky command with a lot of walks. Note that Peralta is just 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in all "day" games too.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Milwaukee has seen the total go "over" the number in 11 of its last 17 day home games in which its a favorite in the -125 to -200 range. This number is a little low, play the "over."
