Pirates vs Brewers Prediction
Misiorowski has been shaky as of late, allowing 15 hits and 14 runs in his last 14.2 innings. Misiorowski also has a 7.23 ERA in 18.2 innings on the road. With that said, the Brewers are comfortably the better team and continue to fatten the pockets of MLB bettors. Chandler has just 12 MLB innings under his belt, so the jury is still out on the 22-year-old. I’m going to keep backing the teams that keep making us coin. The Brewers are one of those teams. Misiorowski should also right the ship sooner than later. Give me the Brewers.
