Pirates vs Brewers
Brew Crew aims to keep the rum running dry

Pirates (30-48) VS Brewers (42-35)
June 23, 2025 | 7:40 PM ET | American Family Field, Milwaukee

Milwaukee brings solid momentum into the Monday June 23 matchup with a four game winning streak, while Pittsburgh has dropped seven of their last ten games. The Brewers have demonstrated strength in recent seasons against this opponent, and despite missing a key late-inning arm due to injury, their overall form and home-field familiarity give them the edge, especially with their rested relievers ready. Pittsburgh’s bullpen remains youthful and inconsistent, while their thinning lineup lacks flexibility. With both teams now at the season’s midpoint and Milwaukee defending a slim divisional lead, the environment aligns for a tight contest that the Brew Crew should control on the run line.
This feels like a smart bet, momentum shifts, bullpen questions, and a rivalry that rarely blows wide open. The betting value sits firmly with the Brewers covering the run line, not a high-flying decision, but a sound, logical play. The pick leans on structure, not speculation, and offers solid middle-tier value and earning a B- grade. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.

Milwaukee heads into this matchup against Pittsburgh riding a four-game win streak, while the Pirates come in on a 3-7 run. That contrast in momentum suggests a crisp, controlled tempo rather than a slugfest. Pittsburgh’s lineup has been thinned by lingering wrist and bullpen injuries, and Milwaukee is also likely to be missing key power sources due to recent concerns. With current Milwaukee starters holding opponents to a low average over the past few seasons and Pittsburgh’s rotation excelling at home, the stage is set for a pitchers’ battle. Every run carries weight with both clubs now at the halfway mark of the season, and Milwaukee’s skipper is expected to lean on a rested bullpen boasting a sub-3.10 ERA in June. Couple that with spacious outfield dimensions and a projected 10 mph inward breeze, the under checks more analytical boxes than the over, offering steady but unspectacular value.
It’s hard to argue against this approach. The momentum difference and recent form make the under a logical pick, while neither team has the lineup depth to turn it into a high-scoring contest. The pitching advantages are clear, and the environmental factors align with a tight, low-scoring affair. That’s why this bet leans under, and earns a B grade.

Milwaukee enters this matchup against Pittsburgh riding a 7-3 run, while the Pirates come in with a poor run of form. Recent history shows Milwaukee’s slugger heating up in this series, though their current slide puts pressure on late‑game execution. With the Brewers’ usual late‑relief arm sidelined, their bullpen depth is untested, and their rotation hasn’t fared as well historically in this matchup. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, is leveraging strong rookie starts and a revitalised late inning squad. Both teams are approaching the halfway mark, and while Milwaukee fights for an NL Wild Car spot, Pittsburgh is testing depth by mixing matchups and emptying its bullpen. With the underdog road team covering the run‑line in high percentage of recent games for pirates, grabbing the run and a half feels justified for a mid‑tier wager.
It’s the kind of bet that looks smart, you’ve got momentum from both sides, depth concerns on both benches, and a rivalry known for tight finishes. The Brewer's injury concerns tempers their edge, and the state of their arms makes backing a close margin the safer play. That’s why this bet leans run‑line, and earns a B grade.
