Brewers vs. Pirates Prediction and Odds for Tuesday, August 2 (Bet On Milwaukee Against Right-Handed Bryse Wilson)

The Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates had Monday off, and will now start a three-game series against each other at PNC park.

The Pirates season is all but over, as they look to the future. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is attempting to hold on a slim lead in the NL Central.

The Brewers shocked the baseball world on Monday, trading away one of the best relievers in the Majors in Josh Hader.

The Brewers got a nice return with several prospect, but giving up one of your best players when you have a three-game lead in your division, seems baffling at best.

With that being said, life will go on for Milwaukee and they have to get ready for a winnable series in Pittsburgh.

Brewers vs. Pirates Prediction and Pick

Few teams are trending in opposite directions as much as the Brewers and Pirates.

Since July 1, the Brewers rank fourth in OPS at .783 while the Pirates rank 28th at .616. It's not going to get any easier for Pittsburgh, who has to face-off against Corbin Burnes, who sports a 2.31 ERA.

Meanwhile, Bryse Wilson (6.31 ERA) will be getting the start for the Pirates.

Betting on Milwaukee is always a good idea when they face a righty. They rank fourth this season in ERA when facing righties (.765), but they drop down to 25th in OPS against lefties. With Wilson bring a right-handed pitcher, bombs away on your Milwaukee tickets.

Pick: Brewers -1.5 (-140)
