Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Friday, July 13, 2018, 7:05 pm ET MILWAUKEE -109 My projections see the Brewers toppling the Pirates in more than 60 percent of simulations for their Friday showdown. We’re getting value on Milwaukee at essentially a pick’em price. The Brewers have won the last four games started by Jujnior Guerra, and are 5-2 when he takes the mound against losng teams. The Pirates are 1-5 in the last six outings by Nick KIngham.

Minnesota is currently on a 7-1 run in home games, and have won five of six against right-handed starters. The Rays are just 1-4 in the past five road starts by Nathan Eovaldi.

He’s walked nine and fanned four over his last two starts. The Cubs rank ninth in OPS (.752) versus southpaws and are 10-2 in their last 12 facing lefty starters. Lay the reasonable price.

Oakland has played 5-1 to the Over in its past six road games against left-handed starters, while San Francisco has played Over in four of its past five interleague games. What’s more, the Over is on a 9-1-1 Over spurt in this series. SportsLine Expert: Stephen Oh (108-72 in last 180 MLB picks)
