4* Money-Maker
(MLB) Washington vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -131.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking the NATIONALS here. Will grab Strasburgh and the short number on the road. Can't have any faith backing Estrada who has been shelled lately. He has given up 7-5-6 runs in his last 3 starts. The two before that, 3-4 runs. So even when he is pitching 'well' he is giving up hits and letting runs score. Strasburg has been better at home than on the road. No mistaking the numbers there. But I will gladly take him giving up 3 runs as his 'bad' days, where Estrada doubles that number when off the mark. After a 16 inning affair, I have a lot more confidence is Strasburg going 7-8 innings than I do Estrada. Nats have won 4 straight. Washington 6-1 last 7 in the series. Brewers have dropped 5 of their last 6 at home. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS
