BIG AL's SUNDAY MLB ROUND TRIPPER!

At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Miami Marlins.  If the Brewers make it into the post-season, they might want to send some flowers to the Cubs and Nationals.  Locked in a tight Wild Card race with the Phillies, the Brewers have watched as the Cubs swept the Phils over three games last week and then the Nats blasted them on Saturday in the first game of a double-header by a 13-4 score.  Without Philly's poor play, Milwaukee would be all but eliminated from playoff contention.  They'll get a chance to pull even with the Phillies this afternoon if they can beat the Marlins, and the Nats can upset Philadelphia.  RHP Freddy Peralta will take the mound for the Brewers.  The 26-year-old was sidelined due to a lat muscle injury early on and then again this month due to shoulder fatigue.  He appears to be healthy now and that's very good news for his team as it tries to grab the final MLB Wild Card spot.  The Brewers are 18-11 in Peralta's last 29 outings with an extra day or two of rest following his previous start.  Meanwhile, the Marlins are 1-3 in Pablo Lopez's four starts vs. the Brewers.  Take Milwaukee.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
