The Brewers have been hitting the ball hard and often as of late, yet I'm taking the visiting Astros today at just (currently( even money. The main reason is Oswalt. While he did give up a whopping 6 ER to the Marlins in his last start, that appears to have been an aberration, as his hit (45%) and strand (55%) rates indicate. Prior to that disastrous start, Oswalt had begun to put it together, correcting a mechanical flaw back in June, this according to the Houston Chronicle, which reported in mid-July that Oswalt had corrected a strid eand release flaw His subsequent starts (an ERA of just 2.20 over his next six starts) apparently bore the report out.
For his part, Braden Looper, following a strong April, has turned into a pumpkin, albeit one with 10 wins (can you say Run Support?)
That Bekrman is back in the Houston lineup doesn't hurt, especially with one of the most consistent power producers in all of baseball batting just behind him.
So, Houston to win today IMHO.
Best of luck!
