- Analysis
- My selection is on the 'over' between Milwaukee and Pittsburgh at 12:35 pm et on Thursday.
I think 'under' bettors may have been lulled into a false sense of security after three straight low-scoring games to open this series. While this starting pitching matchup looks to be a good one on paper, the fact is both lineups have enjoyed considerable success against their opponent. Current Pirates hitters are 21-for-70 off of Freddy Peralta with Bryan Reynolds, Andrew McCutchen and Ke'Bryan Hayes all taking him deep. Meanwhile, current Brewers hitters are 17-for-44 off of Mitch Keller with four different players taking him out of the park. Neither team has had a day off in the last week and given the close nature of recent games you have to figure both bullpens are somewhat depleted. I'll take my chances with the 'over' at such a low posted total. Take the over (8*).
