Brewers vs. Phillies
Phillies-108
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Brent Suter (5-4, 4.55 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (5-3, 2.66)
Although he had a three-start winning streak halted at the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, Suter turned in another strong effort by allowing two runs and three hits over five innings. The 28-year-old has permitted only eight runs and 17 hits over 21 1/3 innings spanning his last four outings. Suter has been solid in six road starts with a 2-2 record and 3.77 ERA -- 1 1/2 runs lower than his home ERA (5.29).
Arrieta cruised through five scoreless innings at San Francisco last time out before he was battered for five runs in the sixth inning in a 6-1 setback to the Giants. The former Cy Young Award winner surrendered only three earned runs in five starts in May, including 14 scoreless innings in two outings at home. Arrieta is 3-0 with an 0.84 ERA in five home starts, holding opposing batters to a .182 average.
Brewers are 1-4 in Suters last 5 road starts. Phillies are 16-5 in their last 21 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Phillies are 5-1 in their last 6 games with Culbreth behind home plate.

I'm playing the Over in the National League showdown between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers.
MAKE NOTE: All Run Line/Total plays automatically list pitchers with the starters who are scheduled to go at the time of the wager, and I want you to be sure the following pitchers are the starters of record on your ticket when making your play: Anibal Sanchez and Alex Wood. If one or both of these pitchers is not going, this is a no-play.
Both pitchers will struggle in this one, and I start with Atlanta's late spring signing, Sanchez, who has worked his way back into form. And while he is facing the Dodgers after arguably his best outing of the year, when Sanchez gave up only two hits and two unearned runs over a season-high 7 innings in a no-decision versus the Nats, this one at Chavez Ravine won't be the best.
Look for the Dodgers to have a field day in this one.
As for the Braves' lineup, it will attack Wood, who won't be able to rebound from a rough start versus the Rockies in which he allowed six earned runs on five hits over two innings. The left-hander has now allowed 11 earned runs over his last 7 1/3 innings.
Play this one high.
1* OVER Braves-Dodgers (Sanchez-Wood)
