Outlier total as all of our other books have 9. The Brewers are giving leadoff hitter Bryce Turang the day off among a couple of guys and he's second in the majors with 32 steals. Starting pitcher Tobias Myers has a 2.66 ERA on the road. Washington rookie counterpart Mitchell Parker is fading a bit but has been much better at home (3.78 ERA) and during the day (3.64 ERA). I'm certainly not expecting six shutout innings three six IP and three ER is fine. Any winds appear to be blowing in slightly.

We were waiting with reality to catch up with Mitchell Parker, a lefty we saw a decent amount of in the minors and were never much impressed. He's come down in a big way, with a 6.89 ERA in his last 7 outings, allowing 7 HRs. He couldn't escape the first inning last time he faced the Brew Crew. Nats have run out of stream and quality players around the deadline. Tobias Myers doesn't have special stuff but he goes 5+ and gives his team a chance to win. MIL has gotten hot on the road in the second half of season. I expect them to be locked in and grinding to get a win in the playoff pursuit.
