AAA's SITUATIONAL RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION! *Special
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Milwaukee,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -143.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* "RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION" on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Despite facing one of the best pitchers in the league, I think the Brewers keep this one close enough to at the very least sneak away with the cover on the RUN-LINE. The visitors send Adam Wainwright (11-4, 1.79 ERA) to the hill; Wainwright has been nasty of late, he's 3-1 with a 0.79 ERA over his last six starts. Note that while he's 9-6 with a 2.25 ERA in 19 career starts against the Brewers, he's 0-2 with a pedestrian 4.50 ERA in his last three at Miller Park. The home side counters with Jimmy Nelson (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who has recalled from Triple-A on Thursday to replace Marco Estrada; Nelson went 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a 7-1 victory at Miami on May 25th to earn his first major league win. This is an important game for Milwaukee, it's in a tight race with the Cardinals and it will be trying desperately to break a six-game slide, it hasn't lost seven-straight in nearly two years. I believe the focus and determination the home side brings could very well see it win this one straight up, but in a contest which will likely once again be decided late or in extras, I definitely don't have any problems laying this reasonable mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance.
