The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to visit Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a National League Central clash against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pittsburgh Pirates come into this matchup with a 38-41 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after closing their series against the Houston Astros with a win, 10-0. Joe Musgrove received the starting nod for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he had success as he went 6 scoreless innings while striking out 5 batters. Kevin Newman had success from the plate for the Pittsburgh Pirates as he went 3 for 5 with 1 HR and 2 RBIs.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to start Chris Archer (3-6, 5.56 ERA) who had success in his latest start as he gave up 1 earned run in 5 innings against the San Diego Padres. Chris Archer struggled in his 1 start against the Milwaukee Brewers during the 2019 season as he gave up 4 earned runs in 7 innings. The Milwaukee Brewers come into his matchup with a 43-38 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after closing their recent series against the Seattle Mariners with a win, 4-2. Chase Anderson received the starting nod for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he had success as he gave up 1 earned runs in 5.1 innings. Orlando Arcia had a big game from the plate for the Milwaukee Brewers as he contributed 1 HR and 3 RBIs.

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to start Jhoulys Chacin (3-8, 5.88 ERA) who struggled in his latest start as he gave up 5 earned runs in 4.2 innings against the Cincinnati Reds. Jhoulys Chacin struggled in his 1 start against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 2019 season as he gave up 7 earned runs in 2.2 innings.

The Milwaukee Brewers have dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates as of recent as they have won 5 consecutive meetings. The Milwaukee Brewers currently sit neck to neck with the Chicago Cubs for the early lead in the NL Central, and they should be able to pick up a necessary win against an average team like the Pirates. While there is no starter who stands out in this matchup, the Milwaukee Brewers have a much better offense as they have the defending MVP Christian Yelich who comes into this game with 29 HRs and 63 RBIs. The Milwaukee Brewers have also been very good at home this season while the Pittsburgh Pirates have been hit or miss outside of their home ballpark which leads me to believe the better team will win. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Brewers win 7-5
