GameDay #46 vs. Brewers

Brewers (21-24) at Pirates (21-24)
7:05--PNC Park, Pittsburgh
Ben Sheets (4-1, 3.25) vs. Ian Snell (2-2, 5.05)
[GameTrax]
-----------------
At first glance, this looks like a pretty awesome pitching matchup.
Then you remember that Ian Snell seems like he's forgotten how to pitch.
--
Ben Sheets is the only stable piece of Milwaukee's rotation at the moment. He's throwing well and is as good as anyone when healthy. Snell was supposed to be the Pirates' ace but has run into trouble this year, as his numbers indicate.
---
Sheets is 8-6 against the Pirates. Snell is 4-0 against the Brewers. That, we do have going for us.
--
If you didn't notice, we have identical records. Take that for what it's worth.

PREDICTIONS
Me: Pirates always seem to hit the good pitchers and stink against bad ones. Sheets is a good pitcher. Snell will come out ready to go. PIRATES WIN
Jesse: Pirates pull off a great win (beating Sheets) in an exciting game.

Go Buccos!
