Pittsburgh at Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Brewers were in control of the NL Central for much of the season, but the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals have taken control. The Brewers are six games out and need to play high-level baseball in September. They saw a modest three-game-winning streak end last night vs this same Pirate team. Pittsburgh has been out of contention for a long time, and at 2-8 in their last 10 games aren't playing particularly well. Pittsburgh starter Zach Thompson owns a woeful 6.62 ERA in 4 career starts vs Milwaukee. Milwaukee sends Freddy Peralta to the hill, and in seven starts vs Pittsburgh has registered a 2.09 ERA. This is a huge pitching advantage for Milwaukee, who should rebound off last night's loss. Make the play on Milwaukee.
