Brewers vs Pirates PredictionÂ
Pittsburgh has the lowest scoring offense in the MLB so far this season, but they have won two games in a row and finally have some momentum. The Pirates are 13-15 at home this year, while the Brewers are 10-18 on the road. Milwaukee has been very inconsistent at the plate as well, and they will face Falter, who has allowed a total of one earned run in his last four outings. Pittsburgh will face Henderson, who has allowed three earned runs and nine hits over 16.0 innings. This should be a decent pitching matchup, so I will take the under with this low-scoring Pittsburgh team.Â
