Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Brewers continue to win games and aren’t a team I’m excited to bet against. Woodruff has been solid this season as well in limited frames, and he’s allowing a .198 batting average in 26.2 road innings. The Pirates aren’t good, and Keller is coming off an August where he allowed 35 hits and 21 earned runs in 29 innings. Keller has also had zero success against the Brewers, which includes allowing a .333 batting average and .386 on base percentage in 117 at bats against current hitters. Give me the Brewers yet again.
