<h2>
Tuesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Peacock is 5/11 on quality starts this season, and while he's three for his last six, he's really been outstanding as of late. Last Wednesday he allowed two runs and four hits through five innings of a game the Astros eventually lost to Seattle 14-1. And over his last six starts, he's allowed just five runs and 21 hits through 34 innings.
</p>
<p>
Houston is 8-3 with Peacock this season, 5-1 over his last six starts.
</p>
<p>
This will be Peacock's first-ever start against the Brewers.
</p>
<p>
Peralta is just 2/7 on quality starts this season, but he's coming off his second-best outing so far. Last Thursday he held Miami to one run and four hits through six innings of a 5-1 Milwaukee victory. And over his recent six appearances, three in relief, he's allowed five earned runs and 23 hits through 22 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
The Brewers are 3-4 with Peralta this season.
</p>
<p>
This will be Peralta's first-ever start against the Astros.
</p>
<h2>
Tuesday's Batting Splits<br />
</h2>
<p>
Milwaukee is batting .253/.334/.447 against right-handed pitching this season. This lineup has also scored 25 runs over its last four games.
</p>
<p>
Houston is batting .264/.335/.462 against RH pitching this season. But this lineup is operating without three regulars, with Altuve, Springer, and Correa all on the DL.
</p>
<h2>
The Bullpens<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Brewers bullpen owns a 4.36 ERA this season and a 1.28 WHIP.
</p>
<p>
The Astros pen owns a 3.31 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, parts of the reasons this unit ranks as one of the top two or three bullpens in Baseball.
