The Pittsburgh Pirates will gun for an equalizer with ace pitcher Paul Skenes scheduled to pitch in Friday’s Game 2 against the Milwaukee Brewers at PNC Park.
The Pirates came up short in their comeback rally in the 9th inning of a 5-8 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the series opener. The result snapped Pittsburg’s two-game win streak and dealt them their 15th loss at PNC Park this season. The Pirates are pitching a 3.27 ERA over their last five games, though their anemic offense (2.1 runs per game on a .227 BA in their last 5 games) continues to undermine this team’s potential.
The Brewers have won 4 of their last 5 games, including the win over the Pirates on Thursday. Christian Yelich, who recorded two homers in that victory, is enjoying a career resurgence this year, batting .192 with 9 homers and 30 RBIs.

Our Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Brewers’ offense deals damage in the late innings to beat the Pirates
Why we should bet on the Brewers to win: I expect Milwaukee's big bats to struggle in the early innings against Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who holds an impressive 2.44 ERA despite a 3-5 win-loss record. The Brewers may not be able to score a run against Skenes, but they will sure have the opportunity to get multiple runs on the board once they bat against the Pirates' ailing bullpen, who are giving up a 5.09 earned runs per game over the last five matches. Starter Freddy Peralta is coming off a strong mound outing in a 5-2 win over Minnesota and has led the Brewers to a win in 3 of his last 4 starts. Milwaukee is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games against Pittsburgh and 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against their NL Central rivals.
Our betting prediction for the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: The Brewers will win.
