MLB Betting Trends
Pittsburgh
The Pirates are 7-2 in their last nine games overall. Pittsburgh is 6-2 in the last eight Brault starts.

The Brewers are 16-5 in their last 21 Sunday games. Milwaukee is 4-1 in the last five Davies home starts.
Prediction:
While Milwaukee’s offense still isn’t quite clicking on all cylinders right now, it has the starting pitching advantage here and for whatever reason the Brewers excel on Sundays. I think yesterday and today could serve as a springboard to get the Brewers trending back in a positive direction. Look for the hosts to get the job done here.
