Month: September 2015

Wacha has been scratched from tonight’s game to preserve innings.

Pirates should get back on track tonight in the second game of a 3 game series in Milwaukee. Pirates do not like getting scored on. They’re 11-0 when their opponent scores 5 or more runs the previous night. Locke’s on the hill for the Bucs and they are 4-1 in his last 5 starts as a favorite. Zach Davies makes his major league debut for the Brewers. McCutchen and company should be able to rattle him.

Today’s pick:

Pittsburgh Pirates

Gerrit Cole looks to get his 16th win of the season tonight as the Pirates visit the Brewers in Milwaukee. Cole has been sharp over his last 3 games with an ERA of 2.14 and a WHIP of 1.00. On the flip side, Nelson is going for the Brewers and over the same span his ERA is 5.28 and his WHIP is 1.70. Brewers are 2-6 in Nelson’s last 8 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Bucs are 51-18 in their last 69 as a favorite. Pirates should get this one.
