Milwaukee at Pittsburgh

What a contrast in home/road breakdowns with these teams. Milwaukee, as usual, is a terrible road team at 17-39 in their last 56 road games. The Brewers are 16-37 in their last 53 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150 and 1-7 in their last eight road games against a team with a winning record. The Brewers are stuck with Mark Rogers this game, who has a 5.02 ERA and the team is monitoring his innings down the stretch. This is the middle of a seven game road trip for Milwaukee and they face Erik Bedard, the former ace who is getting it together at 2-1 his last three starts fanning 15 in 16+ innings. They gave him an extra day of rest for this start, too. The Pirates are 22-7 in their last 29 home games vs. a team with a losing record and 22-8 in their last 30 home games against a right-handed starter. Play the Pirates.
