Scott Reichel wants Brewers –1.5 against Pittsburgh, no matter who the Pirates end up throwing. Milwaukee has plated 8+ runs in four straight and just hung 26 on Minnesota without a single home run, illustrating how locked-in the lineup is. Conversely, the Pirates are 11-27 on the road and have dropped six of eight. Probable Brewer starter Chad Patrick sports a 3.50 ERA at home, and even if the Pirates call up a spot starter, Reichel doubts they keep pace. He projects Milwaukee as –200 favorites and will look for any plus money on the run line, adding that a Brewers team-total Over is a viable secondary angle.
