Series analysis...
The Brewers catch a break with missing Wade Miller this time, who has this amazing ability to turn into the 1968 version of Bob Gibson whenever he faces the Crew. Ben Sheets is making his first start after his dominant 6-inning outing against Houston Saturday at Miller Park, when he set a career high with 10 strikeouts. With Andy Pettitte hurt, Jared Fernandez and his 54.00 earned run average will get a start against the Brewers Saturday night. I think a split in Houston is a realistic expectation for the Brewers, but of course I wouldn't mind a 4-game sweep either.
