Brewers vs. Braves Set-Up<br />
</h2>

Atlanta took the opener of this series Friday night 12-8, winning as a -135 favorite on the MLB betting line The Braves scored single runs in the first, second and third innings, then put up a nine-spot in the sixth for a 12-0 lead. Milwaukee then scored once in the seventh, three times in the eighth and four times in the ninth and had the tying run in the on-deck circle before Hernan Perez struck out to end the game.
</p>
<p>
Friday's loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Brew Crew. At 27-20 overall Milwaukee sits in second place in the NL Central, a game and a half behind the division-leading Cubs.
</p>
<p>
With Friday's win, Atlanta is 6-1 over its last seven games. At 24-21 overall the Braves sit in second place in the NL East, a game and a half behind the first-place Phillies.
</p>
<p>
This series is the first meeting between these teams this season. Last year Milwaukee took the season series from Atlanta four games to three.

<h2>
Saturday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Gausman is 3/8 on quality starts this season but only one for his last five. Last Saturday he held Arizona to one run and five hits through six innings of a 6-4 Braves victory, but over his four starts previous to that Gausman allowed 14 earned runs and 21 hits through 16 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
Atlanta is 4-4 with Gausman this season, and 3-1 over his last four starts, despite a couple of iffy performances on his part.
</p>
<p>
In his only career start against Milwaukee, last August Gausman allowed just one run through eight innings, with eight strikeouts, in a 10-1 Braves win.
</p>
<p>
Anderson started this season in the bullpen, making five appearances in relief, then went 0/2 on quality starts, then just did a stint on the DL with a sore finger. So he'll be seeing his first action on the mound since April 26, when he gave up two runs in 4 2/3 innings of a 10-2 Brewers win over the Mets.
</p>
<p>
The Brewers are 2-0 in Anderson's starts this season; last year they went 16-14 with him.
</p>
<p>
In his only start against the Braves, last season Anderson gave up four runs and five hits in four innings of an 8-7 Milwaukee loss.
