The Brewers will finish off the season series between the two teams this weekend in Pittsburgh. Hopefully, they will improve on their current 5-11 record against the Pirates, by far their worst record out of all their NL Central opponents.
By no means are the Pirates a poor ball club. They currently sit at 77-74 on the season and at one point had high playoff hopes. In the month of July they were able to pull within reach of a wildcard spot and traded for pitcher Chris Archer at the trade deadline. But they were unable to maintain their momentum.
