<h2>
Brewers vs. Diamondbacks Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Milwaukee won the opener of this series Thursday night 5-1; Arizona then took Friday night's game 10-7; the Brewers then rallied late to take Saturday's contest 8-3.
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee won as a -100 "underdog" Thursday night; the Diamondbacks then cashed in as +120 home dogs Friday night, and the Brewers then hit the pay window at a price of +140 Saturday against Zack Greinke.
</p>
<p>
With Saturday's victory, Milwaukee is 4-1 over its last five games. At 52-48 overall the Brewers trail the first-place Cubs by three games in the NL Central, but they also now lead St. Louis and Philadelphia by a half-game each in the battle for the second National League wild-card spot.
</p>
<p>
With Saturday's loss, Arizona is 3-4 over its last seven games. At 50-49 overall the Diamondbacks trail the division-leading Dodgers by 15 games in the NL West but they're also just a game and a half behind Milwaukee in that NL wild-card race.
</p>
<p>
This series is the first meeting between these teams this season. Last year the Brewers took the season series from the Diamondbacks five games to one.

Sunday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/281445&quot; title="Alex Young Pitching Logs">Rookie lefty Young</a> is 1/3 on quality starts this season but only five outs away from being 3/3. Tuesday he held Texas to one run and three hits through 5 1/3 innings of a 9-2 Arizona win. And over his four ML appearances, he's allowed just two runs and six hits through 18 2/3 innings, with 13 strikeouts against only three walks.
</p>
<p>
The Diamondbacks are 3-0 when Young starts this season.
</p>
<p>
This start will be Young's first-ever against Milwaukee, which could give him an edge, at least for the first couple of times through the lineup.
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/125810&quot; title="Brandon Woodruff Pitching Logs">Woodruff</a>, by our stringent standards, is 9/19 on quality starts this year, working on a run of four in a row. Tuesday he held Atlanta to one run and five hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 13-1 Brewers victory. And over his last three starts, he's allowed just six runs and 25 hits through 27 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee is a shiny 15-4 with Woodruff this season, 3-1 over his last four starts.
</p>
<p>
In his only career start against the Diamondbacks, back in May of last season, Woodruff allowed two runs on one hit and four walks through five innings of an 8-2 Brewers win.
</p>
