Why you should back the Brewers
The Brewers have a couple of offensive strengths this season, ranking among the top five in the NL in generating stolen bases (11) and avoiding double plays (11). Milwaukee has a robust starting pitcher in Freddy Peralta, who checks a lot of boxes. Peralta was an All-Star in 2021, posting a 2.81 ERA in 144.1 innings of work. Peralta averaged 12.2 strikeouts per nine innings and more than 3.4 strikeouts per walk. From there, opponents had a .561 OPS against Peralta last season, and that included a .584 OPS from right-handed hitters and a .542 OPS from left-handers.
Milwaukee’s bullpen is excellent, posting top-tier marks in ERA (3.25), strikeout rate (9.87 K/9) and ground ball rate (48.1 percent). The Brewers also face a Pirates team with the fewest home runs (11) in the NL and well below average marks in runs scored, strikeout rate, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
Why you should support the Pirates
Pirates have key potential advantages in certain areas. Pittsburgh has an impressive 9.5 percent walk rate this season, and Milwaukee is below average on offense. The Brewers rank near the bottom of the league in runs scored with 71, and Milwaukee has ugly numbers in batting average (.207), on-base percentage (.281) and slugging percentage (.332) in 2022.
Pittsburgh’s bullpen is very strong, ranking in the top five in the National League in wins above replacement in 85 2/3 innings. Pirates relievers have nearly one strikeout per inning, and Pittsburgh also has a veteran starter on the mound. Jose Quintana has a 3.86 ERA in three starts this season, and the former All-Star has a 3.84 ERA in his career. That includes a devastating arsenal against left-handed hitters, with lefties posting a horrible .662 OPS against Quintana in his long MLB career.
