Pittsburgh Pirates vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
The Pirates continue to rack up the losses, and they’ve scored three or fewer runs in six of their last eight games. So, while Keller has had a respectable season, it doesn’t matter if the Pirates can’t string together offense. The Brewers still haven’t lost a game this month, and Woodruff has been dealing through 35.1 innings. Woodruff has allowed nine runs in those frames while striking out 45. We have to ride the hot hand. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
