The Houston Astros will send Brian Moehler to the mound against the Brewers. Moehler has not been effective in his last four starts resulting in four straight losses for the Astros, and his 4-8 4.71 ERA career numbers against the Brewers, don't bode well for the Astros either. The Brewers recalled Mike Burns from AAA and he gave them a nice outing vs. the Padres, allowing just three runs in a 4-2 loss. The Astros have not fared well in games with a high total, as they are now 1-10 in when the total has been set at 9-10.5. Both of these pitchers have combined play to a 17-9 mark if the total were set at the same level it is for this one, to the UNDER. And with Moehler on the hill following an Astros loss, they have played UNDER to a 15-6-2 mark. I like Milwaukee here, and for this one to go under the total.
