BREWERS +118 at Indians
The Struggling Milwaukee Brewers (3-7 last 10) look to get back on track as they travel to Cleveland to take on the Indians. (5-5 last 10) Both teams arent swinging the bats like they would like to, but I believe Milwaukee has a better shot at correcting this tonight than the Indians do. Milwaukee bats 20 points higher on the road than it does at home (.255), while the Indians are 40 points worse at home than on the road(.244). Milwaukee's Ryan Braun is batting .374 on the road this year, and by dropping JJ Hardys struggling bat to the 8th position and inserting the hot hitting Casey Mcgehee (.563 last 7 days) into the 2nd spot should help the top of the order produce more runs. I also look for Carl Pavano's struggles to continue after his horrible performace against the Royals. Pavano (at home) has pitched 2 innings less than Milwaukee starter Dave Bush (on the road), but has given up 12 more hits. Bush is 2-2 so far on the road with a 4.32 era, while Pavano is also 2-2 at home but has a 6.53 era. Dave Bush does have a problem with giving up the long ball, but the Indians arn't one of the better home runs hitting teams, and I look for Bush to go 6 or 7 strong innings, which should be enough to get the Brewers a Victory!
