Prop Bets: Pittsburgh Pirates VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-06-25
Pirates vs. Brewers: A Statistical Soap Opera
June 25, 2025 | 4:10 PM ET | Miller Park (Milwaukee)
The Setup:
The Pittsburgh Pirates (32-48) bring their "Why-Yes-We-Can’t-Score" offense (3.3 RPG, 28th in MLB) to face the Milwaukee Brewers (43-36), whose bats are hotter than a July dog day (10th in runs scored). Paul Skenes (4-6, 1.85 ERA) starts for Pittsburgh, while Jacob Misiorowski (2-0, 1.64 ERA) toes the rubber for Milwaukee. The SportsLine model loves the Over 7.5 runs, and honestly? So do I—it’s like betting on a clown car crash.
The Money Line:
- Pirates: +105
- Brewers: -115
Take the Brewers for the "favorite" points, but don’t cry if Skenes turns into a human pinball machine.
Run Line:
- Brewers -1.5 runs (-150)
- Pirates +1.5 runs (+130)
The Pirates’ "plus" is about as reliable as a diet in February. Skip it.
Prop Bets to Wager on While Pretending You Know What You’re Doing:
1. Andrew McCutchen (PIT) hits safely: McCutchen’s on an 8-game hit streak, but the Brewers’ defense? A sieve. Take Over 1.5 hits (+120).
2. Christian Yelich (MIL) doubles: Yelich’s got 8 doubles in his last 14 games. Take Over 0.5 doubles (-200). It’s like he’s playing with a "Double or Nothing" Groupon.
3. Paul Skenes Ks: Skenes has 7.1 K/9, but his control? Not so much. Over 7.5 strikeouts (+108) is a bet against his patience.
4. Jacob Misiorowski ERs: His ERA’s 1.64, but the Pirates’ OBP? 0.283. Over 1.5 earned runs (-150) is a "Here comes the rain" play.
The Verdict:
The Brewers’ bats (10th in MLB) vs. Skenes’ shaky command? It’s a recipe for fireworks. The Pirates’ offense? They’ll need a miracle (and maybe a mercy rule). Final Score Prediction: Brewers 5, Pirates 3. Yelich homers, Skenes gets a no-decision, and McCutchen goes 0-for-4. You’re welcome.
Bonus Prop:
Will the game take longer than 3 hours? Yes. Because nothing slows time like watching a pitcher throw 40 pitches in the 1st inning. Take "Yes" (-200).
Tip your bookie, not your cappuccino. ☕️
