The Milwaukee Brewers have been the best team in baseball and they face the Pittsburgh Pirates as they open a series on Thursday night from PNC Park and the matchup has the NL Central leaders in a division battle and the game starts up at 7:05 pm ET and is streaming online live from the MLB.com main website and comes after the team won against the Cardinals.

The Brewers have been the biggest surprise in baseball this season and they are first in the division as things move into the weekend and the pitching has been one reason why. Yovani Gallardo and Edinson Volquez face off in the game on Thursday night and they previously played against each other last week and the Brewers are looking to keep things going, as they have not yet lost on the road after previously sweeping the Red Sox and they could pad their lead even more with strong play in this series.

The two teams are playing in a four game set and the Brewers could match a record with their seventh straight win on the road for their team and now the Pirates are hoping some home cooking can change things around. The team has only won one of their last six games and they also got shutout in the game on Wednesday after a fantastic pitching performance from Johnny Cueto and now they will send one of his old teammates to the mound to try and quiet down the Brewers.

The team comes into the game after beating Joe Kelly and the Cardinals and now they head into the series with the Pirates and they have been hitting well and are ranked 13th in the league with 63 runs and they are eighth in batting average and 21st in on base and 11th in slugging percentage in the early goings of the season. The hitting has been why the team is hanging in there, but the pitching is why they are the best, as they are one or two for the league in ERA, quality starts and WHIP, while they are fourth in BAA.

The Pirates come into the game after a loss to the Reds and now they are 18th in runs and 28th in batting average and they are in the bottom half in slugging and on base. The pitching has been up and down and they are 17th in ERA, 11th in quality starts and 13th and 14th in WHIP and opponents' batting average.
