Pittsburgh Pirates Can Win If…
They get an early lead and Heaney keeps the ball in the park. Pittsburgh comes off a 14–8 slugfest loss to the Reds but showed offensive pop with 16 hits. Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-5 with 2 RBIs, while Jack Suwinski and Spencer Horwitz added multiple hits.
Statistically, the Pirates’ pitching has been respectable — 6th in opponent batting average (.237) and 4th in fewest home runs allowed (115). If Heaney can navigate Milwaukee’s left-handed bats and limit hard contact, Pittsburgh could steal this one.
Milwaukee Brewers Can Win If…
They continue to ride the momentum of their nine-game winning streak. Milwaukee’s latest win was a 7–6 walk-off over the Mets, capped by Isaac Collins’ ninth-inning homer. William Contreras has been on fire, blasting two home runs in Sunday’s win.
The Brewers are top 3 in batting average and on-base percentage, with table-setters like Brice Turang and Christian Yelich sparking rallies. Quintana’s track record vs. the Pirates (5–2, 3.23 ERA in 15 starts) suggests Milwaukee has the edge if they can give him run support early.
