It’s Wednesday, August 13 and the Pirates (51-70) are in Milwaukee to take on the Brewers (75-44). Mitch Keller is slated to take the mound for Pittsburgh against Brandon Woodruff for Milwaukee.
The Brew Crew continues its dominance with an 11th straight win! Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh 14-0 after a 7-1 victory on Monday, so it’s 21-1 on the series score if you’re counting, Pittsburgh (I am a Pirates fan).
Milwaukee holds the best record in the MLB, the No. 1 seed in the NL, and is larger than a -500 favorite to win the NL Central amid this blue-burning winning streak.
