Milwaukee +115 at ST. LOUIS
Baseball tonight, and we will stick with the red-hot Brewers as they look to sweep the banged-up Cardinals.
Milwaukee has won the first 2 games played over the weekend, and they are now 8-3 at Busch since last season, and 12-5 overall versus the Cardinals since last season.
Both Braden Looper, and Kyle Lohse are 3-2 for the season, and both sport similar ERA's, so you can't expect a ton of goose eggs on the scoreboard tonight.
The difference will be in the lineups, as St. Louis has some ailing bodies right now, while the Brew Crew are at full strength.
Milwaukee sports a 5-game win streak, and we like them to make it 6 straight with the win tonight.
Play on the Brewers.

No walk off needed to day as I look for the Yankees to sweep the four game series with a blowout tonight. You see thanks to having won the past three series games it’s New York who has dominated the Twins at home by winning the last 8 series meeting and 23 of the last 25 games dating back to 2002. Meanwhile, overall for the Yankees they seem to be turning things around as they have now won their last five games overall. Well thanks to Andy Pettitte who is off to a 3-1 start to the season I fully expect for New York to make it six straight overall wins and doing so without any late inning rallies. All New York as they continue to dominated the Twins in the Bronx.
PICK: New York Yankees -1 ½

Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners
PICK: Over 8.5
The Mariners just finished up a series where, the reality is, every single game should have gone over the total. Instead, there was a push, a loss by a half run, and what appeared to be a "bad loss" for over players. The key was an unbelievable amount of wasted opportunities for both the Mariners and their opponent (the Red Sox). Tons of men left on base. Piles of double plays (all that always seemed to crop up when big threats were brewing), and the list goes on.
The point of the above is that this is helping to give line value here because Jarrod Washburn has had some struggles against his former club, the Angels. And, as for John Lackey of Los Angeles, he should not be expected to just step in and immediately be 'on his game' as he will finally be making his first "true" start since coming off the disabled list. He tried to make his first start at Texas last week but was ejected after throwing just two pitches. Whereas the last three games played in Seattle have been filled with wasted opportunities, watch this game fly over the total easily. Consider a small play on OVER the total in Seattle on Monday night.
