NL CENTRAL - Milwaukee Brewers

Will LF Ryan Braun continue to be one of baseball's most valuable, or nabbed for PED use? It's a head-scratcher.

MLB FORECASTER SCHEDULE-ADJUSTED OVER/UNDER LINE: 77.5 (3rd, NL CENTRAL)

VEGAS OVER/UNDER LINE: 81.0 (5Dimes); 81.5 (LVH); 79.5 (Atlantis) 

RECOMMENDATION: 80-81 seems a little high for the Brewers. Even with the weak National League, I'm advocating the Under.
