MLB Picks: Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers Progression
Well, we had a perfect night last night if not for the Pittsburgh Pirates choosing to completely fail to show up against a lowly Milwaukee Brewers team. I’m going to ride this progression out, despite that poor performance from a proven ace, and pick the Pittsburgh Pirates to come through before the series ends.
I recognize that the Milwaukee Brewers are not some pushover team right now. The lineup is healthy, possibly for the first time this year, and they’ve been getting serviceable pitching efforts at home. This can be a dangerous series. Lucroy is hitting and there is some meat in the middle of this order.
Still, the Pittsburgh Pirates are fighting for a playoff spot. They absolutely cannot afford to fall to the lowly Milwaukee Brewers. This series is about showcasing playoff might and not letting a lost season from a divisional rival trip up an exceptional campaign thus far.
I think there’s a sufficient pitching edge, a revenge factor for last night, and a talent disparity that greatly favors the Pirates.
