Pirates vs Brewers Prediction

I don’t want to back the Pirates as much as the next guy, but they are having a strong week with wins in four of their last five games, and their pitcher has been lights out. Falter hasn’t allowed a run in his last three starts, and he’s allowed 11 hits and one run in his last 23.2 innings. In 31 home innings, Falter has a 2.32 ERA and a .163 allowed batting average. The Pirates have only 19 wins on the season, and five of those wins have come with Falter on the mound. Throw in the favorable price, and the Pirates have to be one of the better value bets on Sunday.
