Chase Anderson didn't allow a run for three straight games -- all Brewers wins -- and then he allowed one run in a loss and then three runs in a loss. Both those losses went Over the total. He was good in those games, almost as sharp as he was in those three masterpieces he had. The Pirates have won five of Ivan Nova's last seven starts. He's super-consistent and I feel I can trust him to not allow more than three runs. The top play here is the Under.
My projections see the Pirates winning their Thursday showdown with the Brewers at least 55 percent of the time, making Pittsburgh a strong value as an underdog. The Pirates have won five of the last seven starts by Ivan Nova, while the Brewers are 7-15 in starts by Chase Anderson following a loss.
