Brewers vs Pirates Prediction 

Milwaukee comes into this contest playing some very solid baseball over the last week and they are closing in on the Cubs in the NL Central. The Brewers are 24-16 at home this year, while the Pirates are 12-28 on the road. Pittsburgh has the second lowest scoring offense in the MLB and they will go against Misiorowski, who has been elite through two starts. Pittsburgh is starting Skenes, who has allowed a total of three earned runs in his last five starts. I know this is a low total, but I like the under here.
