Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
1u - Corbin Burnes To Record A Win (-120) (Bet $120 to win $100)
This has become a new theme of ours. We see a favorite at -250 or greater odds and take the pitcher to record a win if they have a good bullpen and an ace that throws 5+ innings on the regular. Corbin Burnes has thrown 5+ innings in 18/20 games which is good for 90% of his starts. More importantly, he has shown to dominate these Pittsburgh bats already. In his two start against them this year, he allowed just one run through 6 innings and recorded a win in his last start, and allowed 2 runs through 7 innings to obtain his first win of the year. His record is 2-0 vs Pittsburgh this season.
Although the Brewers just dealt Josh Hader they still have a bullpen that should close the door for us if Burnes leaves the game in line for a win. Burnes out prop is 20.5, so Vegas thinks him going 7 innings isn’t out of the question which should bode well for us. In order to get the win we need to see some run support for our guy Corbin and we have quite the guy to pick on. Bryse Wilson is the perfect guy to pick on here. He has a 6.31 ERA and an 8.20 ERA in home games.
Wilson has shown to be somewhat effective versus this Milwaukee offense in his two starts but not enough for me to think that he outduels an elite talent like Burnes. Another tidbit I really like is that Burnes is strangely better on the road. In 9 away games on the season we have seen Burnes deal on the road for a 1.57 ERA. Burnes is also much better in night games. He has a 1.93 ERA in night games compared to almost a 3 ERA in day games. Every trend makes you believe he should deal tonight. The Pirates hit .219 against righties and face one of the best there is to offer. Once again, we will not overthink, and we will take this train as far as it takes us.
