The Pittsburgh Pirates were unable to extend their winning run to six games after suffering a setback to the St. Louis Cardinals in the final game of the series on Sunday. The defeat brought the Pittsburgh Pirates' overall record to 63-74 for the year, which places them 13.5 games behind in the National League Central and 7 games behind in the race for the National League Wild Card. Jack Suwinski has a team-high 22 home runs and 56 RBIs this season, while Bryan Reynolds leads the Pittsburgh Pirates with 128 hits, 67 RBIs, and a batting average of.264. Suwinski also leads the team in home runs. Additionally, Andrew McCutchen has a slugging percentage of.377, which is the best on the squad. The Pittsburgh Pirates will come into this game having won each of their previous seven games against opponents from the National League in the event that they suffered a loss on the road. After suffering a defeat on the road, the Pittsburgh Pirates have won each of their previous eight games against opponents from other National League teams while covering the run line.

After a strong start to their series with two victories, the Milwaukee Brewers were unable to complete the sweep after suffering a 4-2 setback to the Philadelphia Phillies in the final game of the series on Sunday. The defeat brought the Milwaukee Brewers' overall record to 76-60 for the year, giving them a lead of 3.5 games over the second-place team in the National League Central division. Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with 141 hits, 69 RBIs, a.278 batting average, and a.365 on-base percentage.

This game will be started for the Milwaukee Brewers by Corbin Burnes, who has a record of 9-7 with a 3.55 earned run average and 167 strikeouts so far this season. After suffering a defeat at home, the Milwaukee Brewers have come back to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates and win each of their past eight night games against them. In addition, the run line bet against the Milwaukee Brewers has been covered in each of their last four night games against teams from other National Leagues.

In this contest, I'm going to side with the Milwaukee Brewers. In my opinion, the Milwaukee Brewers have been playing better baseball as of late. It's great that the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals, but the Milwaukee Brewers are actually competing for a division championship, and Burnes is the staff ace, which means that these are the games in which you need him to perform the best. I believe that he will make an appearance here, and if he does, the Milwaukee Brewers will unquestionably take care of business.
