The Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday at PNC Park, 9-0, and I expect more of the same tonight when they play the second leg of their 3-game series. The bottom feeding Bucs’ season is over and they know it. Pittsburgh is 38-62 overall and 21-27 at home. The Central-leading Brewers are 59-42 overall and an impressive 30-18 on the road. Adrian Houser is expected to tap the rubber for Milwaukee and he has decent numbers, at 6-5 with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. The expected starter for Pittsburgh has yet to be determined but whoever it is, it should not matter. The Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10 as a road favorite and 4-1 in their last 5 against the Pirates at PNC Park.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MILWAUKEE BREWERS
