Milwaukee Brewers: Milwaukee is my choice to win the National League Central this season, and I want a "plus" 85 ½ total victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The central part is by far the most competitive divisions in all three to four NL teams (the Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs) in position to win.
Milwaukee and pitcher Gallardo
Milwaukee will not have their newly acquired ace Zack Greinke for this game, but they were the best thing in the Gallardo. Greinke is on the disabled list early in the season, but will naturally result in a major blow early in the rotation upon his return.
Jovan Gallardo has Cy Young potential, despite a poor mid season last second. His stats flash 'to indicate that he simply ran out of gas sporting an ERA of 5.77 and a WHIP of 1.53 in housing starts in the second half 13.
Closer to its yield is still significant as a 3.31 walks per nine innings, also a strong relationship, and 9.57 strikeouts per nine innings, even respect. In addition, he has gained a solid 24.0% of the ratio of line and an impressive 70% of base runners stranded in the report. This shows that is a pitcher, it was simply bad luck and trouble is not fully in line with their efforts to wall 162 during the game.
Milwaukee has been complicated by the injury bug several key players. Zack Greinke broke a rib playing basketball and could miss the first month of the regular season. Hart has a rib cage strain that hit Ryan Braun and the prospect Mat Gamel. From the disposition of receiving and Jonathan Hart did not have a Cactus League at bat.
At the end of the day, all those players return to the composition and contribute significantly. This is a game of 162 marathon season and injuries have always contributed to all teams at some point or another.
The Reds and starter Volques
Cincinnati Reds begin Edison Volques in this first home game back from Tommy John surgery late last season and beat well. The first thing to come back after this type of surgery is speed, but commanded the masked area is a completely different task. In its debut last spring, he was extremely wild in many places throw in the face of the plate for what the recipient called. He walked five batters and allowed five earned runs in just 2 1 / 3 stick set.
A common strategy used against the control problems are starting to force hitters to launch a strike and locations until he proves he can throw a strike. The best location in the game of baseball is a strike. A batting average batting professional drop about 80 points when a pitcher has reached the number 0-1.
He works for the attacker, if the pitcher can not throw strikes consistently. The best example is when Roy Halladay threw a Phillies certainly is not his debut in the playoffs against the Reds last year when a strike came on 26 of the 27 batters he faced.
While the MLB odds makers are going with the Reds, I think is a good opportunity for players to take the advantade MLB and the side of the Brewers.
