What a funk the Milwaukee Brewers are having. They have not only lost that winning groove they where in, they have lost that winning feeling. The Brewers have lost 7 out of their last 10 games. Not to mention the struggles they have had on the road going 3-7 in their last 10 games. Milwaukee ahs not played their best in Interleague posting a horrible 1-5 record thus far. The Brewers have averaged less than 4 RPG witha slumping batting average of .334 in their last 7 games. David Bush will get the call for Milwaukee. his last 3 starts have been absolutely terrible posting an 0-2 record with and ERA well over 7.00. The Brewers have dropped 3 of his last 4 starts and he has given up 16 earned runs, walked 13 batters, and has given up 6 homers in those 4 starts. In Bush's only 3 starts against the Indians he has given up 3runs or less but has an 0-1 record and a 1-2 TRBS against the Indians.
The Indians rolled last night against the Cards 3-0 coming through with my GOM. and now have won 5 of their last 7 games and are handling righthanders with ease batting a healthy .265 against and has scored 15 runs in their last 4 games. Carl Pavano will counter Bush for the Indians. Pavano was shellshocked by the Royals his last time out giving up 9 runs off 11 hits in just over 4 innings, but before that the Indians have won 7 of his last 10 starts. Pavano has only given up 3 runs or less in his last 8 out of 9 starts.
He has been a dominate pitcher against very good hitting teams like Boston, The Yankees and A huge win against the Royals with Greinke on the hill. Cleveland should have a great day with Bush on the hill.

SELECTION: CLEVELAND INDIANS -128


The Giants completed a 3 game sweep of the Inerleague rivals Oakland A's. San Fransisco scored 15 runs in those 3 games and now have won 5 out of 6 games and have done well at home posting a 21-9 record. The Giants defense and pitching have played almost flawless as they have held their opponenets to less than 3 rpg in their last 7 games. Barry Zito will take the hill for the Giants, he has been almost unhittable at home posting an ERA of 2.70. Zito has won his last 2 starts, but has dropped his 4 games prior 2 of them being his only home starts thus far. Zito has only allowed 7 earned to the Angels in his career but is 1-2 in those starts.
The Angels are coming off a road sweep of the Padres. They have scored 27 runs in their last 4 games and are averaging 6rpg and a healthy batting average of .320 in their last 7 games. They are letting it be known that they dominate lefties posting a batting average of almost .300 and are averaging almost 5 rpg against them, with a red hot 5-1 Interleague record and hold strong after a shutout of their opponents going 3-1. John lackey will counter Zito hoping to get back on track and has been in a funk posting a high ERA of almost 7.00. The Angels have dropped 3 of his last 4 starts. In his last start The red hot Rays shelled him for 9 runs off 11 hits in just 5 innings. In his games prior he has pitched 7+ innings giving up 2 runs or less in 2 out of 3 starts. He has faced the Giants only one time in his career going 0-1 but gave up 1 run off 5 hits in 7 innings of work. Look for LAckey to get it done here as he will bounce back from one of his worst losses of the year. and the Angels hitting the way they are, There should be plenty of run support for Lackey as Zito will get handled by the Angels.
