Prediction for Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates

The Milwaukee Brewers have already clinched the NL Central but are still playing for the seed and Tobias Myers has been good overall this season. Bailey Falter and plus money are worth a look but that doesn't matter when the Pirates aren't scoring runs and they've lost 7 of their last 10 games. Sometimes teams run out and the Pirates have nothing left to win and that's what it looks like most nights. Give me the Brewers and a reasonable price.
