Pirates vs. Brewers Best MLB Prop Bets

Brewers Best MLB Prop Bet

Jake Bauers OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+117)

Jake Bauers has been a strong presence in the middle of Milwaukee’s lineup in a breakout season at age 30. The slugger is riding a nine-game hitting streak, going 13 for 31 (.419) with 11 runs scored and five RBI during that span.

That’s helped him go OVER 1.5 HRR in four of five and six of his last eight games. I’ll take these plus odds for that to continue tonight at home.

Pirates vs. Brewers Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

It could very well be a pitcher’s duel in Milwaukee between Jared Jones and Logan Henderson.

Jones has allowed five runs in 17 innings since the All-Star break, and Henderson has yielded just three runs in 15.2 innings.

Neither offense has been particularly hot, either. The Pirates have scored four runs or fewer in six of their last eight games, with Milwaukee scoring three or fewer in three straight, four of five, and five of their last seven games.

There is the risk of the Pirates bullpen allowing a few runs later in the game, so the 1st 5 Innings UNDER could also be worth a look.

Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-115)
