Pirates vs. Brewers Picks

Money Line Pick for Pirates vs. Brewers

  • Milwaukee Brewers ML (4 Units)

The Brewers have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively at home. They’ve had a lot of success batting against right-handers, and Keller has been shaky on the mound, giving up seven runs in his last three starts. With Pittsburgh’s bullpen also struggling in recent games, they will have a hard time slowing down the Brewers.

Pittsburgh will have a hard time keeping up offensively because Misiorowski has done better on the mound in recent starts, giving up five runs in his last three home starts. He gave up one run in two starts against the Pirates and will keep their offense in check. Take Milwaukee on the money line.

Over/Under Pick for Pirates vs. Brewers

  • Under (4 Units)

The Pirates average 4.96 runs per game. They’re batting .243 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up five runs in his last three home starts and one run in two starts against them. The Brewers average 4.96 runs per game. They’re batting .246 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up nine runs in his last three starts against them. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Brewers and Pirates played under the total in three of their last four meetings.
