Thursday 5th September Major League Baseball betting pick
Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers
Francisco Liriano 2.57 EA vs Wily Peralta 4.51 ERA
Pirates go for the sweep today at Miller Park in Milwaukee. They are on a good run at the moment, trying desperately to catch first-placed St Louis.
Francisco Liriano gets the start tonight. He signed with the Pirates in February and has gone 15-6 with a 2.57 ERA. He got the all important win against St Louis last start pitching 8 scoreless innnings so should be able to take care of the Brewers today.
Peralta is 0-3 in his last 4 starts with a 5.01 ERA. There's just no way to back the Brewers today. Pirates win and edge one game closer to the Cardinals.
Take note: The above tip is simply the author’s opinion, so bet at your own risk and always bet responsibly. Happy punting!
