They played well offensively despite their downturn, scoring 18 runs in their last three away games.

In his last three starts against the Pirates, he only allowed four runs and will again restrain their offense. The Brewers also had recent difficulties; they dropped four of their previous seven home contests.

Because Hill struggled on the pitch, particularly on the road, where he allowed nine runs in his previous three outings, expect them to do well offensively in this game.
He struggled to contain the Brewers in his last three starts against them, giving up nine runs each time. Pick Milwaukee to cover the spread. The Milwaukee Brewers will win by a predicted score of 6-4.
