Houston -110 over Milwaukee:
Roy Oswalt (6-4, 3.87) needs to stop the bleeding ASAP, as this series has not gone well for the Astros thus far. Milwaukee won the first two games easy, and the Astros need Oswalt to step up and win a ballgame here as their playoff hopes are fading fast after a nice run a month or so ago. Oswalt is 1-0 with a 4.08 ERA in his last 5 starts.

Braden Looper goes for the Brewers this afternoon, and Looper has been really inconsistent of late. He’s 10-6 with a 4.99 ERA this season, but has been hit around pretty hard in recent efforts. He’s 2-2 with a 5.16 ERA in his last 5 starts, giving up 36 hits in 29 innings.
