Event / fixture:: Milwaukee at Pittsburgh
Event date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 at 9:05 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Pittsburgh @ 1.60 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Win
The 48-30 Pittsburgh Pirates lead the NL Central. They have won their last 6 and are 15-5 in their last 20 home games. They are also 5-1 in their last 6 against Milwaukee. Starting pitcher Gerrit Cole has a 3-0 W/L record and a 3.44 ERA. The Pirates currently have the second stingiest defence in the league, giving up just 3.5 runs per game.
The 32-44 Milwaukee Brewers are 8-17 in their last 25 on the road. Starting pitcher Alfredo Figaro has a 1-2 W/L record and a 6.48 ERA. He's going up against a Pittsburgh side that is 40-22 against right handers this season.
From a betting stand point the Pirates are one of the hottest teams in the MLB. They should be too good for the poor travelling Brewers who give up more runs per game (4.7) than any other team.
