MLB Betting Trends
Milwaukee
The over is 12-2 in the last 14 Brewers games on Sundays. Milwaukee is 15-7 in its last 22 games overall.
Pittsburgh
The Pirates are 9-1 in their last 10 home games. Pittsburgh is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.
Prediction:
The pitching matchup today favors the Brewers and Miley, who has been a very pleasant surprise for his squad. Kingham was strong to begin his MLB career as a rookie, but has faltered the last several months when given the opportunity in the big leagues. Don’t look for Milwaukee to get shut down a second straight day, while Miley will likely give up two or three runs which puts it in a good spot for the over.
