In this Brewers vs Pirates Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -135 road favorites. I like the Brewers to keep rolling in this one, as they are 7-1 in their last 8 games and are facing a struggling Pirates team that is on the verge of mathematical elimination from the playoffs and are 1-4 in their last 5. Harrison has been in bad shape but has shut out the Pirates twice this season and the Brewers have both a superior offense and bullpen lately. Take the Brewers to win this one.
