Live Discussion: Pirates at Brewers, 8:10 PM

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates (65-88) have three games left on their road schedule. That last series begins tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers (83-70). Steven Brault will be on the mound for the Pirates, coming off of ten runs over 2.2 innings at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs last Friday. Brault has a 4.98 ERA in 103 innings, with a 1.49 WHIP, 84 strikeouts and a .266 BAA. He has already started four times against Milwaukee this year and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in any of those outings.

The Brewers are countering with veteran right-hander Chase Anderson, who has a 4.50 ERA in 128 innings, with 118 strikeouts and a 1.29 WHIP. He has faced the Pirates four times this season and allowed two runs each time. Anderson has a 3.68 ERA at home and 5.53 on the road.

So basically, the starters are going to allow two runs each this game and then the bullpens will decide the game.

Here are the lineups:

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
