The set-up: I'm going to lay the price here and expect a winner of the "rocking chair" variety, similar to the Brewers rather simple 10-4 win yesterday. The visitors go with the volatile Chi Chi Gonzalez (2-4, 6.12 ERA), who gave up six runs off eight hits over 5.1 innings in a loss to Milwaukee. Over his last three starts, Gonzalez has now allowed 18 runs.

The pick: The home side counters with the improving Eric Lauer (1-3, 5.21), who gave up three run over five innings in a no-decision to these very Rockies last week. It was a good start on the road. I think Lauer can build off that performance, and note that he owns a sharp 3.56 ERA in all "day" games this year. Finally, note that the Brewers are 7-1 in their last eight after scoring ten or more runs in a home victory in their previous outing. Lay the price, expect a comfortable victory.

This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Brewers.
