The Pirates continue to prove why they're more than just an intriguing team in 2026. In a clutch situation in their recent game against the Brewers, Bryan Reynolds delivered an RBI single that followed a two-run hit by Nick Gonzalez to secure their latest 6-3 victory over Milwaukee.
Anyone who tells you this Pirates team doesn't have a chance this season is lying. This year, Pittsburgh has successfully built a starting rotation around the generational talent of Skenes, one that appears prepared to accompany him for the entire season. Right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski is a prime example, set to get a start after shining in a long relief appearance on Wednesday, but there are other pitchers to watch, like the flamethrower Bubba Chandler.
As for the bat, this season looks set to be a turning point for Oneil Cruz. The Dominican, who stands 6'7", is batting .271, and his eight home runs don't accurately reflect the magnitude of those blasts. Against the Rangers, he hit one over the foul pole and has had home runs this season exceeding 119 mph.

Our Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Injuries have hampered the Brewers' true potential, and despite a hot start, they've been slipping. Yelich was the latest to go down with a groin injury, Baddoo is on the 60-day injured list, and Chourio didn't even play his first game of 2026 with Milwaukee due to injury.
The Pirates have already taken this series, having also won Game 1. That was a special game where SS Griffin, on the day he stopped being a teenager and turned 20, hit his first HR as a major leaguer, another one destined to be the face of the Pirates in the decade to come.
Our prediction for Brewers vs Pirates is: Pirates ML.
