The Pirates getting a four game sweep? Yes! Pittsburgh has outscored Milwaukee 32-5 in the first three games and I like 'em to get the win again here as Milwaukee sends Dave Bush to the mound. Bush is 0-4 on the road with a 8.10 ERA. He's been absolutely shelled of late giving up 15 earned runs in as many innings in his last three starts vs. Philadelphia (twice) and Cincinnati. Bush is 4-13 over the past two seasons as a starter at +125 to -125. Paul Maholm goes for Pittsburgh and he's been solid this season posting a 4.58 ERA (3.57 at home). As an added bonus in an expected close game, home plate umpire Jerry Meals has presided over 11 games this season and in those eleven, the home team has won 9 times. Pittsburgh is 15-12 at home scoring 5.9 runs per game. They play well here and this is a low price.
