Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 7, Brewers 4

Moneyline

BET PIRATES (+135).

Pittsburgh is 2-1 in its last 3 games and 5-5 in its last 10 while the Brewers have lost 2 straight and are 4-6 in their last 10. The Pirates are also 2-1 in their last 3 meetings against the Brewers in Milwaukee and are 4-2 in the last 6 matchups overall.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Pirates to cover here, but I like their odds better on the moneyline as +1.5 (-150) underdogs is a bit risky to bet on. Both teams have been very solid ATS this season, with the Brewers being 23-18 and the Pirates 22-20, making this bet even more risky.

Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

The Over is 3-0-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 4 games and is 5-3-2 in its last 10 outings. For Milwaukee, the Over is 6-1 in its last 7 games and is 7-3 in its last 10. The Over has also hit in back-to-back Pittsburgh-Milwaukee matchups.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (48-59) open a 4-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (58-51) on Thursday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX).

Season series: Brewers lead 5-1

The Pirates lost 6-3 to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, which ended a 3-game winning streak. Despite its recent success, Pittsburgh remains in 4th place in the NL Central, 9 1/2 games back of the division-leading Cincinnati Reds.

The Brewers were defeated 3-2 by the Washington Nationals Wednesday as they lost a 2nd straight series. Milwaukee has lost 7 of its last 10 games, but it remains only half a game back of the Reds in the NL Central.

Keller (9-7, 3.97 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 through 133 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 8 K in 2-1 home loss vs. Philadelphia Phillies Friday

Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Pirates 3

Moneyline

I’ll side with the BREWERS (-135) in Thursday’s divisional bout despite that they’ve been struggling lately. The Brewers have won 7 of the last 10 meetings between these clubs, including 6 of the last 7.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+150) is a fantastic value as Milwaukee is the superior team. Aside from his last 2 starts against the Braves, Houser has been solid this season despite not inducing many swings and misses.

On the other hand, Keller has been shaky on the mound for the Pirates since the All-Star break.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup with Keller’s recent woes and Houser’s inability to miss bats. Keller has given up a combined 18 earned runs and 6 home runs across 3 starts since the All-Star break.

The Brewers have plated at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 6 games, and the Over is 4-2 in the first 6 meetings between these clubs this season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (34-35) and Milwaukee Brewers (36-34) close out a 3-game set Sunday at American Family Field. First pitch is at 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pirates vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Pirates at Brewers projected starters

RHP Luis Ortiz vs. RHP Freddy Peralta

Ortiz (1-3, 4.64 ERA) makes his 7th start and 8th appearance. He has a 1.76 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 5.5 K/9 in 33 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 4 K Tuesday against Chicago Cubs

Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Pirates 2

Moneyline

The Brew Crew is starting to hit its stride, and the Pirates are starting to fall back to the norm after a great start to the season. The only question is if Peralta, who has great history against Pittsburgh, can keep the Bucs down. Peralta has a 3.86 ERA and 1.17 WHIP at home this year vs. 6.04 ERA and 1.66 WHIP on the road.

That gives me enough confidence to LEAN BREWERS -160.

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers are 30-40 on the RL and 14-22 at home this season in what has been an underwhelming first 70 games. They have won 4 of 5 against Pittsburgh, and 3 of the 4 have been by more than a run.

I’ll take BREWERS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

The wind is blowing in at 10 mph. The Under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings in Milwaukee. These teams have remained under 9 runs in 3 of the last 4 against one another.

Neither offense will blow you away so I will LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

With Keller on the mound for Pittsburgh, the PIRATES (-110) are the choice in Saturday’s NL Central matchup. The Pirates own the 10th-best wOBA (.335) and are tied for the 10th-best wRC+ (110) against left-handed pitching this season.

Run line/Against the spread

Even though the Brewers should keep the game close, I’ll PASS on taking them to cover the run line in this contest.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-115) is how I’d wager the run total with Keller getting the nod for the Pirates. Since the start of May, the Brewers are tied for the 3rd-worst strikeout rate (25.5%) and are tied for the worst wRC+ (80) against right-handed pitchers.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (48-79) tussle with the Milwaukee Brewers (67-59) Monday in the opener of a 3-game set at American Family Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Pirates vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Brewers lead 9-7

The Bucs limp into their last series with the Brewers losers of 7 of their last 10, 15 of the last 20 and 22 of the last 30. They were able to sweep the Brew Crew in Pittsburgh earlier this month during Milwaukee’s swoon after the trade deadline. The Pirates just snapped a 7-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over Philadelphia.

The Brewers really fell off this month and haven’t really recovered. They are 5-5, 9-11 and 14-16 over their last 10, 20 and 30 games. They began the month a couple games up in the division and now sit 6 games behind the surging St. Louis Cardinals. There is still time, though, but they’re 1 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot as well.

Pirates at Brewers projected starters

TBD vs. RHP Corbin Burnes

J.T. Brubaker was supposed to make Monday’s start, but he was placed on the paternity list. The Pirates will either call up someone from the minors to make the start, or they’ll go with a bullpen game.

Burnes (9-6, 2.84 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 11.2 K/9 in 152 1/3 IP.

  • He’s 1-2 with a 5.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 30 K’s in 27 2/3 IP this month
  • Pittsburgh got to him Aug. 2, for 4 ER on 3 H and 5 BB with 6 K’s in 5 1/3 IP

Prediction

Brewers 7, Pirates 3

Money line

For his career, Burnes is 6-1 with a 3.02 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 in 19 games (7 starts) against Pittsburgh. Unless Pittsburgh is bringing up the 2nd coming of Doc Ellis to throw a no-hitter while on acid, it doesn’t matter who starts for them. Milwaukee takes it and scores 5 or more runs. Take BREWERS OVER 4.5 TOTAL RUNS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

We’re going to PASS on the RL. I think Milwaukee wins by 3, but I really don’t see much incentive to throw money at it.

Over/Under

Eight runs is a pretty enticing total for a team that is likely to have a rookie or a bullpen game on the mound. The Over is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings as well. The Over is 6-3-1 for Milwaukee over the last 10. These teams have hit 8 runs in the last 4 meetings and 7 of 10. I’ll take OVER 7.5 (-115) for a FULL UNIT and the ALTERNATE OVER 8.5 (+120) for a HALF-UNIT.

Pirates at Brewers projected starters

RHP JT Brubaker vs. LHP Aaron Ashby

Brubaker (2-7, 4.28 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.44 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 82 IP.

Pirates at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Pirates 3

Money line

Neither starter has pitched particularly well this season, owning a combined record of 3-13. But the Brewers have been the better team and have had the Pirates’ number by winning 8 of their first 10 meetings this season.

Because the money line is juiced to -220, I would PASS here, but I like the Brewers to win this one.

Run line/Against the spread

This is a tough spot for the Pirates. They’ve played 4 games in the last 3 days, including a doubleheader Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers were off Thursday and should have their best lineup on the card.

Milwaukee has covered the spread 7 times against the Pirates this season and I think they’ll do so again Friday at home against a worn-out Pittsburgh team. Bet the BREWERS -1.5 (+102).

Over/Under

In 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams, the final score went Over the total – including a 19-2 blowout win July 1 by the Brewers. Both pitchers strike out batters at a high rate, but they’ve also given up a combined 17 home runs and have WHIPs over 1.4.

Bet the OVER 8.5 (+100).

Prediction

Pirates 5, Brewers 4

Money line (ML)

Wilson has been hurt by a .345 BABIP; Lauer has been aided by a .266 figure.

The Bucs took two of three from the Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend and also performed well in recent road series against the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants. The recent play makes for a lean toward the visiting nine in Monday’s series opener.

TAKE PITTSBURGH (+200).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Bettors looking to leverage a run-and-a-half of insurance should consider a line watch. PIRATES -1.5 (-105) makes for some value.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. A -125 tag on the Under would make for a lean that way. Milwaukee does not have a good offense, and righties swing them around to the lesser side of their splits.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The BREWERS -1.5 (-105) are a much more affordable play at near even money, after winning each of the first two in this series by a score of 7-4. Milwaukee has won by two or more runs in each of their last eight victories, coming over nine games dating back to June 3.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9 (-105) is the lean here. We have had a total of 11 runs in each of the first two in this set, so why stop now? The Over is 8-3 in the past 11 games overall for Pittsburgh, including each of the past three.

For Milwaukee, the Over is 4-1 in their last 5 as a favorite and 4-1-1 in the past six against vs. RHP.
