Why the Brewers on Friday at -105...the Brew Crew come into Friday's game two matchup against the Reds after taking game one by a score of 6-4. The Brewers will send Chase Anderson to the bump who is coming off of a sharp home start against the Cardinals in which he allowed 1 ER on 2 H over 5 IP on 9 Ks with BABIP against of .143. With an average velocity jump above SA with all four pitches while throwing just 100 pitches, this is a trustworthy spot to back Anderson and his 3.12 road era compared to his 5.29 home era. Looking deeper into Anderson's LS against the Cardinals, he posted a 65% contact% (season low) and a 12% SwStr% (SA 8%). Reds with a combined 81 ABs vs. Anderson to match a .235 BA and just 1 HR. Big 6'5 270 lb. Sal Romano will take the ball for Cincinnati who is coming off of a below average performance against the Cubbies at home in which he allowed 5 ER on 8 H over 5 IP. With a steady rise in Romano's BABIP against over his L3 Starts, we will fade Big Sal and his 4.89 home era vs. a Brewers lineup with a combined 65 ABs to match a .262 BA/.372 OBP and 4 HRs. Going to back the Brewers 3.19 bullpen era over their L14 Days to match a 2.51 season road era.
