I like the Pirates winning their Thursday afternoon showdown with the Brewers behind Ivan Nova. Nova is coming off two straight wins, including a seven-inning start vs. the Cubs on Saturday. In 12 IP vs. the Brewers, all in '16, Nova has fanned 10 and he is also 2-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Pirates have won five of the last seven starts by Ivan Nova, while the Brewers are 7-15 in starts by Chase Anderson following a loss which he pitched in. Lets play the PITTSBURGH PIRATES here on Thursday afternoon.
