Pittsburgh came into this series playing their best ball of the season, but they have lost the first two and are trying to avoid being swept here.

Milwaukee has scored at least five runs in three of their last five games and they are facing Chandler, who has allowed three earned runs and nine hits over 12.0 innings. The Pirates are going against Misiorowski, who has allowed three earned runs or more in four straight starts. I don’t love the pitching matchup for either side, but Milwaukee has the way better lineup. Take the Brewers -1.5 in this contest.
