I'm not about to write Chris Sale off after two bad starts. The southpaw star has his velocity up he just has been uncharacteristically wild. This is his first start since returning from a five-game suspension following an April 23 brawl against the Royals. Sale has never had three consecutive non-quality starts.

So he's had ample time to harness his control and work on his mechanics. He's facing a Brewers team that has the third most losses in the majors and is batting .208 versus lefties.

Sale is extremely tough on teams unfamiliar with him. He's 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA in seven career interleague starts. The Brewers last faced him in 2012.

Milwaukee starter Mike Fiers has a 5.46 ERA and been plagued by walks averaging a walk per inning. His WHIP is 1.72. Fiers has surrendered four homers and 12 walks during his last four starts spanning 19 innings.
