Pirates vs. Brewers Best MLB Prop Bets

Brewers Best MLB Prop Bet

Dustin May UNDER 17.5 Outs (-126)

The Brewers might keep a close eye on May in his first start with Milwaukee this afternoon.

He’s pitched fewer than six innings in six of his last seven starts, only getting to 18 outs two outings ago against the Reds.

Pirates vs. Brewers Prediction and Pick

The UNDER has cashed in all three games so far in this series, and I don’t see that changing this afternoon.

Neither of these offenses really has explosive potential, and both pitchers should be able to manage well enough on the mound.

The Pirates have gone UNDER in six of their last eight games, with Milwaukee cashing the UNDER in six straight contests. In total, six of nine meetings this season have gone UNDER the total as well.

Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-109)
