Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates – 8/4/22 MLB Picks and Prediction
Pick details
The Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates meet Thursday in MLB action at PNC Park. The Milwaukee Brewers look to snap a 3-game losing streak. The Pittsburgh Pirates need a win after losing 8 of their last 11 games.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 games. The Brewers have won 7 of their last 8 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with 98 hits and 35 RBI, while Andrew McCutchen and Rowdy Tellez have combined for 173 hits and 114 RBI. Brandon Woodruff gets the ball, and he is 9-3 with a 3.55 ERA and 101 strikeouts this season. Woodruff is 6-2 with a 3.78 ERA and 85 strikeouts in his career against the Pirates.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 3 of their last 6 games. The Pirates have split their last 4 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Ke’Bryan Hayes leads the Pirates with 89 hits and 32 RBI, while Bryan Reynolds and Michael Chavis have combined for 148 hits and 66 RBI. Zach Thompson gets the ball, and he is 3-8 with a 5.09 ERA and 55 strikeouts this season. Thompson is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.
The Brewers are 7-3 in their last 10 Thursday games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The Pirates are 6-15 in their last 21 Thursday games and 1-5 in their last 6 home games. The over is 7-3-1 in Brewers last 11 overall. The under is 7-3 in Pirates last 10 Thursday games. The Brewers are 13-5 in the last 18 meetings in Pittsburgh and 42-18 in the last 60 meetings.
The Milwaukee Brewers have been shaky this week, but they get Woodruff on the mound here, a guy who has allowed just 7 runs in his last 30 innings and has owned the Pirates throughout his career. Zach Thompson has an ERA over 5 on the season, and he’s allowed 19 runs in his last 27 innings. Complete pitching mismatch here. My only option in this one is to take the Brewers and the RL for max betting value.
