Pittsburgh at Milwaukee

Pittsburgh is playing much better than expected, having won four of its past six games, and the Pirates have JT Brubaker going tonight. He has allowed only two runs on seven hits in 9 1/3 innings this season. The right-hander won his last start, 7-1, over the Cubs when he gave up a run on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. Last year, he pitched nine innings against the Brewers and had a .206 opponent batting average. Milwaukee managed to split a four-game series with the Cubs by winning 7-0 on Wednesday. Dating to last season, the Brewers are just 3-8 their past 11 games versus teams with .400 or below winning percentages. Play the Pirates on the runline.
