Milwaukee Brewers at Houston Astros
Milwaukee is set to play the second game of a six-game road trip, as they are playing the fifth game of a 12-game stretch that sees them playing all divisional opponents. The Brewers suffered a 5-0 shutout loss last night, dropping their record to 20-25 versus the NL Central (-760). The team has gone 109-94 against divisional opponents the last three years (+560) and the total is 94-91 O/U in those contests. The Brewers have played an equal amount of games at home and on the road, going 24-28 in both situations. The team is actually hitting 21 points higher on the road (.270) that at home this year (.249). Milwaukee is 21-22 this year when playing against a team with a losing record, but that mark is 7-3 since the All-Star break. It’s also important to note that the team is 12-13 this month (-40) and 37-41 in July the last three years (-1,020).
