Playing the Pirates brings out the best in Milwaukee's offense. The Brewers have scored 16 runs in the first two games of this series. 
Milwaukee should be in line for another big scoring outburst facing Steve Brault, who has a 4.80 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and has more walks than strikeouts on the season. 
Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff has a 4.11 ERA in his last three starts. He hasn't been the ace the Brewers envisioned this season. Woodruff also could be distracted as he's leaving the team following this game because his wife is giving birth. 
CB Bucknor is slated to be the home plate umpire. The Over is 21-13 (62 percent) the past 34 times Bucknor has been behind the plate.
