Pirates vs Brewers MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 25)

The Pittsburgh Pirates (32–49) visit the Milwaukee Brewers (44–36) for the rubber game of this three-game series. Milwaukee is favored after a 9–3 win in Game 2, while Pittsburgh seeks redemption. The total is set at 6.5 runs in what’s anticipated to be a pitchers’ duel, highlighted by a clash between two highly touted arms.

• Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes (4–6, 1.85 ERA) faces Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski (2–0, 1.64 ERA). Skenes has struck out 106 batters in 106.2 innings, while Misiorowski has racked up 9 K in 11 innings.
• The series has been decided by pitching: Pirates won Game 1 (5–4), Brewers took Game 2 decisively (9–3).
• Total run line low at 6.5 reflects expectations for a low-scoring finale between two efficient starters.

Pittsburgh Pirates Player Prop Pick: Paul Skenes

The Pirates rely heavily on Skenes, whose 1.85 ERA and 9.4 K/9 rate make him their ace. Despite a weak lineup (last in RBI and slugging), they remain competitive thanks to elite pitching performances. Bullpen form has dipped recently, but Skenes gives them a chance.

• Skenes has averaged 9.4 K/9 and posted 9 Ks in his last start.
• Brewers strike out at a league rate, making high-K outcomes more likely.
• A quality start (~6 innings) with 1.5 K per inning aligns cleanly with the line.

Milwaukee Brewers Player Prop Pick: Jacob Misiorowski

Milwaukee’s surge has been built on strong home performance (44–36) and efficient pitching. Misiorowski has a sharp strikeout profile, while reliever Chad Patrick adds depth with 85 K in 84 innings and a 3.72 ERA. Their offense is balanced, but it’s a pitchers’ game.

• Misiorowski averages 9.0 K/9 and has reached double-digit Ks in previous outings.
• Pirates strike out frequently and lack plate discipline.
• He projects for 5+ innings with steady whiff upside.
