Pirates vs Brewers Prediction

The Pirates have won three of their last four games, but it’s not enough to move the needle for me. The Pirates aren’t good and have been a loser on the season for bettors. Also, while Keller has been respectable with a 3.88 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, the Pirates have lost each of his last seven starts. The Pirates have scored a combined two runs in Keller’s last three games. Priester has had his struggles this season, but this is a homecoming for him, so it should motivate him. Priester was drafted in the first round by the Pirates and spent his first 20 games with the team. Should be a decent outing from the 24-year-old. Give me the Brewers.
