This is an 8* SUPER-BLOWOUT on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Milwaukee will look to get back on track after closing 2-4 on its most recent road trip, including back-to-back losses to St. Louis. The visitors send Tim Lincecum (9-7, 4.21 ERA) to the hill; Lincecum has been brutal of late, going 0-2 with a deplorable 8.59 ERA over his last three, most recently getting shelled for five runs over 3 1/3's innings in his team's 7-5 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The hungry home side counters with Jimmy Nelson (1-2, 4.30 ERA) who is 0-2 with a 5.71 ERA over his last three starts, but who has received a combined three runs of support since getting called up on July 11th; Nelson was decent in his last start, giving up two runs off five hits over seven frames in a 2-0 loss to the Mets on Sunday. Note that the Giants have dropped four straight at Miller Park and six of the last eight in the series overall. I think this is a good spot for the Brewers to get untracked as they take advantage of this favorable matchup; lay the short price.
