The Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates meet Sunday in MLB action at PNC Park. The Brewers look to build on their 11-game winning streak. The Pirates need a win to snap a six-game losing streak. 

The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 25 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in eight of their last nine games. The Brewers have won 11 straight games when scoring four or more runs. Avisail Garcia leads the Brewers with 65 hits and 51 RBI while Luis Urias and Omar Narvaez have combined for 120 hits and 64 RBI. Freddy Peralta gets the ball, and he is 7-2 with a 2.17 ERA and 122 strikeouts this season. Peralta is 1-0 with a 4.07 ERA and 31 strikeouts in his career against the Pirates.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have scored six runs in their last three games and three or less runs in seven of their last eight games. The Pirates have lost 27 straight games when scoring three or less runs. Adam Frazier leads the Pirates with 103 hits and 28 RBI while Bryan Reynolds and Kevin Newman have combined for 146 hits and 58 RBI. Tyler Anderson gets the ball, and he is 3-8 with a 4.75 ERA and 72 strikeouts this season. Anderson is 1-2 with a 8.59 ERA and 22 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.

The Brewers are 8-0 in their last 8 Sunday games and 5-0 in their last 5 road games. The Pirates are 31-72 in their last 103 games following a loss and 17-42 in their last 59 overall. The over is 4-0 in Brewers last 4 overall. The over is 4-1 in Pirates last 5 home games. The Brewers are 26-10 in the last 36 meetings.

The Brewers are the hottest team in the league and not a club you should be eager to bet against. The Pirates are on the opposite side of the fence and can’t score runs. Freddy Peralta has also been one of the better pitchers in the NL this season. The Pirates have little success with Anderson on he mound. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
