Neither the Brewers nor the Pirates are playing sharp baseball lately. Thursday’s matchup surely will be decided by the bullpens' effectiveness. Brewers starter Chase Anderson has not pitched beyond 5.0 innings in four starts this season. For Pittsburgh, Joe Musgrove has struggled significantly in his last two home starts. Grab the value on the Brewers as road favorites.
The Pirates have lost seven of their last 10 games aided by a lousy bullpen and a banged up starting rotation. Coupled with their bats coming alive, they have seen eight of their last 10 games get Over the total. Joe Musgrove allowed six runs in his last start. I'm on the Over.
Chase Anderson is 2-0 with a 3.25 ERA in four starts this season while Joe Musgrove is 3-5 with a 4.27 ERA. Musgrove has a 6.1 ERA at home and an 8.25 ERA in May. Against righties, the Brewers are in the top third of the league at scoring runs while the Pirates are in the bottom third of the league. The Brewers are 5-2 after an off day, I like the Brewers with a rested bullpen.
