Pittsburgh at Milwaukee

As the Pittsburgh Pirates have thrown in the towel on '08 by dealing Nady, Marte and Bay, they are left with no punch in the middle of the lineup and no hard-throwing dependable lefthander out of the pen. It has left the Pirates 6-12 over their last 18 games. They have managed to score just 42 runs in their last 15 games or just 2.8 a game. The last time Pittsburgh came to Milwaukee with all the players they no longer have, they were ambushed by a total score of 22-8. The massacre could be worse this time, so we will ride the Brewers on the runline here.
