The Milwaukee Brewers are seeing 90% or greater action against the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday in Game 1 of this series. Milwaukee is a -120 favorite here on the road.
Following domination by the Brewers, Pittsburgh has gone 3-1 in the last four meetings.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacin (6-1, 3.32 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Trevor Williams (5-4, 4.38)
There have been no runs scored in three of Chacin's last five starts and he is coming off a win.
He has won his last six decisions and opponents are hitting .227 overall against the 30-year-old. Chacin limited the Pirates to one run in six innings in their one encounter this season to improve to 2-3 with a 4.76 ERA in seven career matchups.
Williams lasted just three innings in each of his last two starts, giving up 12 runs (seven earned) and 10 hits with four walks in that span. That stretch extended his streak of outings without a quality start to five.
Expect Williams to bring his A-Game here with a PIRATES +120 win
