00:00Can the Brew Crew continue this win streak, making it five in a row at home tonight in Milwaukee against the Pirates?

00:06The oddsmakers expect it. Minus 180 is that money line number now on FanDuel.

00:11The over-under at eight and a half.

00:13So not as strong of a favorite as earlier this morning, but still a pretty strong favorite on that money line price.

00:19Will Milwaukee make it five straight wins tonight at home?

00:23Ashcraft has pretty good numbers, but once again, keep in mind, it's only been 11 innings that he's pitched on this season so far.

00:28And here's the interesting part, too. Like Milwaukee, we know, has the retractable dome.

00:32Maybe a little bit of rain chance in the forecast. I hope the roof is open.

00:35Why? It's 88 degrees tonight in Milwaukee.

00:38It's one of those days you'd like to capture, get that heat and humidity in the ballpark, certainly to try to heat up those bats.

00:42It's hard to judge, again, Ashcraft, because you look at his ISO against only a 116, weighted on base percentage, 278.

00:49Not a huge strikeout guy, but not a huge track record that we can go off of here.

00:53You take a look at that Brewers lineup, some good batters in here against right into pitching over the past month.

00:56Now, Freilich's got good numbers here. Churio, Christian Yellich, you take a look at Collins, as well as Durbin.

01:01But on the other side for Pittsburgh, sometimes you get what you get.

01:04Like yesterday, my sneaky sell me something was the team total over four and a half runs for Pittsburgh at a plus money price

01:10because the pitcher was bad, but the lineup really stinks.

01:12They really came to play yesterday, scoring north of seven runs, easily hitting that play stream.

01:16But Chad Patrick, number two on the card today with exit, but only a 3.64.

01:20So I do think it's a great spot here for the Milwaukee Brewers with a pitcher going up against a bad lineup,

01:24even though it had some success yesterday.

01:26I think they go back to being a bad lineup today, and I'd give that nod once again to the Brewers.

01:30But it's not as if I'm, like, saying anything generational here.

01:34They're a minus 196 favorite.

01:35They should win this.
