ROGERS' AFTERNOON BALL-BASHER (101-66 MLB YTD!)
(MLB) San Francisco vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -164.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Milwaukee enters off a 5-4 win on Saturday and I think it'll carry over that momentum in what I believe to be another favorable matchup for it on the mound. The visitors hand the ball to Tyler Beede, while the home side goes with Jhoulys Chacin.

The pitchers: Beede (2-3, 5.64 ERA) has been hit or miss this year, although both his victories so far have come on the road.

Chacin (3-9, 5.40) has struggled mightily of late, but a date vs. the Giants is just what the doctor ordered for the veteran to get untracked, as he's 9-7 with a 3.11 ERA in 22 games vs. them.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but San Fran is a poor 13-20 this year as an underdog in the +125 to +175 range, while Milwaukee is a sharp 21-13 (+6.9 units) this season in all "day" games.
