OVER 10 Houston Astros/Milwaukee Brewers:
Expect a high scoring game tonight at Miller Park as the Brewers try to continue to pound Astros pitching. Last night they put up 11 and tonight should be more of the same against the suddenly relling Astros.

Brian Moehler (7-8, 5.40) has been awful lately, though his overall numbers aren’t terrible. In his last 5 starts, he’s 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA, but in his last two outings he’s allowed 10 earned runs in his last 11 innings pitched. He is rarely able to pitch past the sixth inning, so the Astros already depleted bullpen better be ready to work again tonight.

Mike Burns (2-4, 5.89) takes the hill for the Brewers, and he hasn’t been good at any point this season. Milwaukee is trying to add a starter via trade, but for now, they’ll have to stick with Burns. He’s 1-2 with a 6.32 in his last 5 appearances, 3 starts and 2 out of the bullpen. He’s allowed 14 runs and 23 hits in his last 15 innings pitched. Not good.
