Brewers (24-26) VS Pirates (17-33)
23 May 2025 | 6:40 p.m. ET | PNC Park, Pittsburgh

Milwaukee comes into this matchup riding good form in their last five games, while Pittsburgh is looking to snap the slump they've found themselves in despite handing the ball to their exciting young starter. The Pirates’ bullpen is dealing with some key injuries, whereas Milwaukee’s rotation is in better shape with a healthy, well-rested starter who’s already dominated this opponent once this season. Both teams are searching for early momentum in a tight division race, and Milwaukee’s lineup has been finding success in this ballpark.
Honestly, with the Brewers heating up and the Pirates’ relief corps a bit thin, the value on Milwaukee at plus money looks appealing. The better form and pitching health tip the scales their way, making this a solid B-level play if you’re looking for an edge before the season’s halfway point.

Milwaukee enters this matchup in great spirits as they've won four of their last five games, while Pittsburgh is looking to break out of a slump, losing seven of their last ten. Both teams are dealing with injuries to key hitters, which puts a cap on their offensive potential. On the mound, Milwaukee’s starter has consistently kept Pittsburgh in check, and Pittsburgh’s excelent young pitcher has excelled at home, suggesting a pitching duel could be in the cards. With both teams sitting below .500 and little pressure to overextend their bullpens this early in the season, a low-scoring game seems likely.
Honestly, with the bats a bit thinned out and two reliable starters set to go, the under looks like the smarter play. You’re getting decent value on the number, and neither side is likely to push the tempo with so much baseball still ahead. That’s why this under gets a solid B grade for probability and price.

Milwaukee enters this matchup looking to start a new winning streak, and holds the better overall record and has recently dominated Pittsburgh in head-to-head meetings. The Brewers come in with a healthier roster and a bullpen that’s fresher and more reliable, while Pittsburgh’s bullpen has struggled during its ongoing slump. Both teams are still settling into the season, so the focus remains on steady play rather than postseason pressure.
Honestly, with Milwaukee’s recent knack for close games and the Pirates’ bullpen issues, grabbing the extra 1.5 runs on the run line feels like the right move. The odds aren’t sky-high, but the combination of trends and healthier arms makes this a B+ pick if you’re looking for both value and reliability.
