This seems like a great spot to fade Pittsburgh, who are fresh off sweeping the Dodgers. Not only is it a good spot to fade them but it’s also a good spot fade Quinn Priester and Milwaukee. The Brewers have won 16 straight games that he’s started with his last losing streak coming against his former team, Pittsburgh, in May. The Pirates has a day off yesterday, play their best baseball at home while Johan Oviedo has yet to allowed more than two runs in his four starts thus far.

Christian Yelich is just 1-9 in his career against Johan Oviedo, but that one hit was a home run. Oviedo has been dominant against left-handed hitters this season, though the sample size is small, and historically he's been slightly worse against lefties. Yelich has an .885 OPS with 23 of his 27 HRs against RHPs. At +600, we think it's worth a shot. We set Yelich's line close to +400 to homer.

It's hard not to go with Milwaukee's Quinn Priester, as all the Brewers have done is win in his last sixteen starts. Priester has never pitched beyond seven innings in that stretch, but Milwaukee hasn't lost a game he started since May 24, and Priester does his part to keep the Brew Crew in the hunt, with good-enough ERA numbers (3.33 in August) to always give Milwaukee a chance. True, the Pirates are hot (11-3 last 14 games), and off of a rousing sweep of the Dodgers, but no Paul Skenes on the mound tonight, and the bullpen figures to get more wear and tear on Friday with starter Johan Oviedo appearing to max out at five innings.
