brewers - villanueva --- 6.18 era 1.44 whip...1st start of year VS.
nationals - balester --- 3 IP on the year .. last game got rained and gave up 2 ER (3 total) in those 3 innings
brewers sent down mike burns who was horrible and are throwin villy tonight for his 1st start of the year. he started a handful of games last year and was mediocre. he is not stretched out at all and the highest hopes are for him to get to 4 innings at best. tim dillard who was just called up from aaa will then most likely take it from there for another 3ish IP.
villy has a nasty changeup but every other pitch has been shit this year..althouh he has given up 6 HR in 43 IP in relief he has given up 3 HR in his last 4 appearances and doesnt seem to be at his best right now
maybe being given a chance to start will get his mojo going and he'll put up 0's for the first few innings but then we still dont know what we'll get from dillard combined with the nats swinging hot(weird to say) the last couple games makes me play the
over 10 in this game.
let alone the brewers could go off for 10 themselves on the nat's this is my play. im no expert so fade or tail or do what you do but good luck to us all
