Brewers vs Pirates: Low-Scoring Duel

0:00On April 25th, the Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight for Game 2 at American Family Field, looking to shake off that. Near perfect game from Paul Schien's last night, it's April 25th, 2026, first pitch at 710 PM Eastern on MLB.tv. Odds have the Brewers as favorites in minus 127 on the Moneyline, with a total at 8.5. Jacob Misirowski takes the mound for Milwaukee, boasting top tier velocity and whiff rates in the 98th percentile, plus a nasty extension in the 99th. He's 1 in 3 with a 3.04 ERA. Pittsburgh counters with Mitch Keller, 2 in 1, 2.79 ERA, but he's facing a tough platoon split against the Brewers high. Walk drawing line up. Meanwhile, the Pirates swing and miss a ton, sitting seventh and whiff rate league wide, which plays right into Misirowski's strengths. Milwaukee's bats aren't powerhouses, but grindout runs with walks and base running smarts, ranked second in walks and fifth in scoring from the past.

1:04On the total, I'm leaning under 8.5 at minus 117. Both teams lack big power. Pittsburgh, 20th and isolated power, Brewers near the bottom and slugging metrics, and rested bullpen should lock it down. Blahia. Pirates have cast the under in 20 of their last 30 road games, so expect a low score in duel as the Brewers aim to snap Pittsburghs, 15 game win lost streak.
