Winning streaks on the line at Dodgers Stadium


Tonight National League predictions, written by Olivier:
*number 1 indicates road team win, number two home team win with respective pecentage to win the match.

Nationals (Martin) @ Astros (Moehler) 1 65%
J.D. Martin is making his second start of the season as he's fighting for a
spot in Washington pitching rotation. His first start was a good one. Despite picking up a loss he tossed 6 innings, giving up 4 runs but only one earned. Moehler first start of 2010 last week was a poor one as he was tagged for eight runs and 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings Saturday in a 12-2 loss at Cincinnati. Nats will win the series finale.

Brewers (Capuano) @ Marlins (Johnson) 2 65%
The Marlins will give the ball to Johnson (5-2, 2.19 ERA), who has given up one earned run over his last four starts. Johnson is 4-1 with a 1.53 ERA in seven outings at home this season and has posted a 2.35 ERA in winning his two career starts against the Brewers. This is Capuano's first start since Sept. 28, 2007. Capuano is 3-1 with a 2.85 ERA in six starts against the Marlins but despite good career numbers against the fish he will pick up his first loss of 2010.

Braves (Medlen) @ Dodgers (Kuroda) 2 60%
After sweeping the Diamondbacks, Dodgers will face a much tougher opponent as Bobby Cox's Braves come to LA. Atlanta has won 8 in a row and will give the ball to Medlen who is 1-0 with a 3.22 ERA in four starts since joining the rotation. Kuroda takes the ball for Los Angeles looking to bounce back from his worst outing of the season. He is 1-1 with a 1.20 ERA in two starts against the Braves, and in his only outing against them at Dodger Stadium, the right-hander threw a one-hitter. Dodgers will win their 5th straight while Braves streak will come to an end.
