#957 ASA PLAY ON 8* Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 on the Run Line (-145) over Pittsburgh Pirates, Tuesday at 7 PM ET - The Brewers have been red hot since the All Star break with a 7-2 record. The bats have come alive as they are averaging 6.3 RPG since the break scoring at least 6 runs in 6 of those 9 games. No reason to think that slows down here facing a Pirates team with Wilson on the mound. Wilson has started 10 games this season, he has 1 win and his ERA at home is 8.20. In his 20 innings pitched at home this year he has allowed 34 baserunners for a WHIP if 1.82. The Pirates have the 3rd worst record in MLB and since the All Star break they have won just 1 of their 9 games and that was a 1-0 win. Unlike the Brewers, the Pirates offense has been poor all season ranking 28th or lower in RPG, OPS, and batting average, but even worse since the break. They are hitting just .211 as a team, averaging 3 RPG and they’ve been held to 2 runs or less in 7 of their 9 games since the All Star break. Facing Milwaukee’s ace Burnes won’t help them break out of that slump tonight. Burnes has been top notch all season but especially on the road where his ERA 1.57 and he’s allowed just 35 hits in 58 innings of work! One of those road games came here @ Pittsburgh on July 1st when Burnes went 6 innings and allowed just 1 hit in a 19-2 Milwaukee win. Burnes leads the N.L. in strike outs and the Pittsburgh offense averages 9.6 K’s per 9 innings which is the 2nd worst in the Majors. In his 2 starts vs Pittsburgh this season, both Milwaukee wins, Burnes has pitched 13 innings, allowed 3 ER’s and struck out 15. We like the Brewers on the run line in this one.
