The Milwaukee Brewers will host the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks tonight when they open a 4-game set at American Family Field. Milwaukee had their 5-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday but should get back on track tonight. Arizona has lost 15 of their last 17 and are a dismal 9-21 on the road. Tonight they are expected to send Jon Duplantier to the hill and in his season debut against the Cards last Thursday, he yielded 4 runs on 7 hits in 4-2/3 innings of work – not good. The Brewers are expected to send lefty Brett Anderson to the rubber and his numbers are not overly impressive, at 2-3, with a 4.18 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP, but the Diamondbacks are just 8-22 in their last 30 games against a left-handed starter. Milwaukee has owned the D-backs, going 9-2 in their last 11 overall, and are 7-1 in their last 8 at home against the Snakes.
