Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

Martin Perez just hasn’t been able to find his rhythm this season, and some of that may have to do with the lack of recent reps. I doubt a road Game against one of the best teams in the NL will help. The Milwaukee Brewers continue to play good ball and Tobias Myers has been sharp this season overall despite some hiccups at home. The price is reasonable. I’ll side with the Brewers on Wednesday to beat the Pirates.
