<p>It will not be a family affair when Brett Anderson and Tyler Anderson get together on Tuesday, but the two lefties will be the respective starters for their teams when the Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates square off on July 27. Brett and the Brewers are the favorites over Tyler and the Buccos with a price tag of -140 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>The total on the game is 9 as both pitchers have had some struggles this season. The two offenses don’t really fit the mold of being high-scoring teams, but Milwaukee has been a lot better offensively of late.</p>



<h2 id="h-milwaukee-brewers"><strong><u>Milwaukee Brewers</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Brewers could be a major player this week at the Trade Deadline, as there are several offensive upgrades that look appealing. Milwaukee’s offense ranks 19th in wOBA for the full season, but ranks sixth in wOBA since the umpires started checking pitchers for foreign substances. Over the last 30 calendar days, Milwaukee actually boasts a top-five offense.</p>



<p>The Brewers have really struggled to hit at home this season, as they’ve been in the bottom five in wOBA at American Family Field. The Brewers don’t have great numbers on the whole on the road either, but at least rank in the middle of the pack in wOBA in that split. They’ve got a high walk rate, something that has helped their advanced offensive numbers, but they do still lack in the contact quality department.</p>



<p>Lately, just about everybody has gotten into the act, though the Brewers are still waiting for Christian Yelich to get going. He’s worked a ton of deep counts and nearly 46% of his plate appearances have ended in a strikeout or walk. He may need to get a little more aggressive and start trying to drive the ball. He has only hit six home runs this season.</p>



<p>The Brewers may need some run support on Tuesday. Brett Anderson has a 4.26 ERA and a 4.75 FIP, but he has a 6.42 xERA, a run metric that incorporates contact quality into the equation. Anderson has kept the ball on the ground, as he always does, but over 48% of batted balls against him have been hit at least 95 mph. He allows a ton of hard contact.</p>



<p>On the plus side for the Brewers, their outstanding bullpen got a day of rest on Monday and all hands will be on deck for the series opener. Devin Williams could even be activated as well.</p>



<h2><strong><u>Pittsburgh Pirates</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Pirates have had a rough, long season already, but it seems to be even longer the rest of the way. Adam Frazier was traded to San Diego, so Pittsburgh’s paltry offense lost the league leader in hits. Frazier was an All-Star, along with Bryan Reynolds, who could also be traded if the right deal comes along by Friday.</p>



<p>Even with Frazier for most of the season, the Pirates still managed to rank in the bottom five offensively in wOBA. They don’t strike out a lot, but also don’t make a lot of quality contact and actually go into this game with the league’s lowest SLG. They’re also the only team in baseball with fewer than 90 home runs.</p>



<p>Tyler Anderson could very well be traded by Friday. The 31-year-old left-hander on a one-year deal has a 4.35 ERA with a 4.26 FIP on the season. He’s seen big spin rate decreases since the crackdown on the sticky stuff, but hasn’t pitched that poorly in spite of it. He gave up six runs on June 15 to Washington, but five of those came in the first inning, including a grand slam.</p>



<p>Otherwise, Anderson has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since May 21 when he gave up nine to the Braves. Even with that huge blow-up against Washington, Anderson, whose K% is down quite a bit, still has a 4.02 ERA and a 4.07 FIP in his last eight starts.</p>



<h2><strong><u>Brewers vs. Pirates Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Pirates actually played well over the weekend with a series win against the Giants, but they flew home missing Frazier and that could make for a real tough series here out of the gate. The Brewers have played really well in the bully role against inferior teams, something that they will be able to take advantage of here in this one.</p>

Arizona State Sun Devils vs California Golden Bears Betting Pick & Prediction 12/31/23

<p>The competitive action on the Road to the Kentucky Derby continues this weekend, as Fair Grounds hosts the G2 Risen Star Stakes. This race will be staged over 1 1/8 miles, and it is one of the key preps for the opening leg of the Triple Crown. A highly competitive field of 12 will go to post, but which runner will secure victory and enhance their Derby prospects?</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betdsi/">BET ON THIS RACE AT BETDSI</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-race-history-amp-records">Race History &amp; Records</h2>



<p>The Risen Star Stakes has been staged annually since 1973. It has been a key prep for the Triple Crown throughout history, with Master Derby becoming the first winner of the race to land victory in one of the notable races later in the season by landing Preakness Stakes success in 1975.</p>



<p>There is yet to be a winner of both the Risen Star and Kentucky Derby, but two previous runners in the race have won the Run for the Roses. The first of those was War Emblem, while Country House would repeat that feat in 2019.</p>



<p>Epicenter holds the speed record after finishing the 2022 renewal in 1:49.03. Five trainers are tied for the most wins, including Brad Cox, Todd Pletcher, and Steve Asmussen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-risen-star-stakes-leading-contenders">Risen Star Stakes Leading Contenders</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-track-phantom">Track Phantom</h3>



<p>Steven Asmussen’s Track Phantom made a very positive impression earlier this year when landing victory in the G3 Lecomte Stakes. The success saw his odds for the Derby cut drastically, but we will learn more about the three-year-old this weekend.</p>



<p>The Asmussen runner has won on each of his previous three starts, with his latest Grade 3 win registering a speed rating of 96. He steps up in trip to 1 1/8 miles for the first time this weekend, and he remains the contender that the field need to beat.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hall-of-fame">Hall of Fame</h3>



<p>Asmussen has two runners in the field this weekend, with Hall of Fame also boasting a very interesting profile. The three-year-old boasts the best speed figure in the field, after scoring a rating of 97 when winning a maiden special weight at Fair Grounds in late January.</p>



<p>It is worth noting that the rating is slightly higher than the one achieved by Track Phantom, but this will be Hall of Fame’s first attempt in graded company.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sierra-leone">Sierra Leone</h3>



<p>Sierra Leone is a runner for Chad Brown this weekend, and the three-year-old remains of huge interest. He finished second in the G2 Remsen Stakes at the beginning of December, reaching a speed rating of 99 when finishing second behind Dornoch.</p>



<p>It could be argued that the muddy conditions didn’t suit him on that day, and a return to fast ground will bring out improvement. He has experience over this distance, and that could be vitally important.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-long-shot-real-men-violin">Long Shot- Real Men Violin</h3>



<p>Given the Risen Star has attracted a big field, it could be worth assessing a potential lively outsider in the field. Real Men Violin has been very consistent for trainer Kenneth McPeek, scoring speed figures ranging between 85 and 93 across his last four starts.</p>



<p>He is open to further improvement on this step up in trip after finishing a close second behind Honor Marie in the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club over 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs last November. It could be argued that the step up in distance will suit Real Men Violin more than the actual winner on that day.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-risen-star-stakes-prediction">Risen Star Stakes Prediction</h2>



<p>Sierra Leone’s experience over this distance could be important to consider before making a wager, and that makes him our standout selection. Track Phantom looks set for another bold bid, and he may be the runner to take out of this field with one eye on the Derby. Real Men Violin could also be an interesting contender in Exotics.</p>



<p><strong>Win: Sierra Leone</strong></p>



<p><strong>Exacta Box: (4) Sierra Leone/ (6) Real Men Violin/ (11) Track Phantom</strong></p>
