BREWERS/PIRATES Under 9 -120 - Josh Fogg was one of my favorite ?Under? pitchers last season, especially when he pitched at night, as the Under was an amazing 17-6, 73.9% in all of his starts under the lights. Granted, he allowed 4 earned runs and 6 hits in 6.2 innings at Cincinnati in his first start this season, but the way teams have been scoring runs in that ballpark, that effort is actually much better than it looks on paper. He is facing a Milwaukee team that has a very ordinary team batting average of .252, and they may have used up their weekly run supply with yesterday?s 5-run outburst. Todd Ritchie was welcomed back rudely in his return to the NL, as he allowed 4 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings vs. the Giants. However, the Pirates have now scored a grand total of just 6 runs in their last 3 games, and they may continue to struggle vs. a pitcher that they have never faced.
