1* free play on MIL@PIT to go OVER the total...

The Brewers and the Pirates have split the first two games of this series in Pittsburgh, and the rubber match will go on Sunday. Yesterday's game went under, but the Pirates had seen the total go over in five straight prior to Game 2. I think another slugfest is in the cards today.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Zach Davies is a 23 year old right-hander with just six major league starts. He'll get the call up from Triple-A to make a spot start in Pittsburgh on Sunday. The Pirates will hand the ball to Juan Nicasio, who was sharp in his season debut in Pittsburgh, allowing one run on two hits over six innings in a win over St. Louis. He wasn't nearly as sharp in his second start of the season in Detroit, getting roughed up to the tune of four runs on six hits in just three innings.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Andrew McCutchen hit a home run is yesterday's 5-0 win, and he's 1-for-3 lifetime versus Davies. Starling Marte is 2-for-3 versus the right-hander.

3. X-Factor - Both these teams rank near the bottom of the majors in ERA by reliever, ranking 22nd and 24th respectively.
