Pittsburgh is 7-15 in their last 22 game one’s of a series and 1-10 in their last 11 Friday games. The under is 3-1-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 5 game one’s of a series. Milwaukee is 5-11 in their last 16 home games and 1-6 in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing record. The over is 10-3-1 in Milwaukee’s last 14 games. Pittsburgh is 15-41 in these two teams last 56 head to head meetings.

This pitching matchup definitely leaves something to be desired, but we should see an exciting, high scoring game here. JT Brubaker has allowed seven runs over his last 12 innings for the Pirates. For the Brewers, Aaron Ashby has allowed 14 runs over his last 12.2 innings. I don’t like either pitcher in this matchup, but I do like the over.
