The Pirates won eight of 13 games against the Brewers this season.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers have been abysmal over the last month as they’ve lost six of their last seven games. A big reason Milwaukee has struggled has their been their lack of offense. In five of the seven games the Brewers scored three runs or less.
Milwaukee ranks 24th in runs (542) and they are just 26th in batting average (.244).
Ryan Braun leads the Brewers with a .312 average and 24 homers and 74 RBI.
Chris Carter has 30 homers and 71 RBIs on the year.
Nelson is 2-7 with a 6.31 ERA on the road this season.
The Brewers are 10-17 in 27 Nelson starts this season.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates are in danger of missing the postseason after they lost three straight games to the Cubs. With 31 games to play the Pirates are 2.5 games behind St. Louis Cardinals who are in second place in the NL Wild Card.
Gregory Polanco leads Pittsburgh with a 21 homers to go along with 79 RBI. Starling Marte is hitting .306 with 46 stolen bases.
If the Pirates want to have any shot at making the postseason Nova must continue to pitch at a star level.
The Pirates are 5-0 in five Nova starts this year.
