Brewers starter Brent Sutter is a bottom of the rotation type starter - if that - who has been doing a solid job. I see regression coming, though, for him that could begin here. Sutter threw a season-high 105 pitches in his last start. He had never reached triple digits before in his pitch count.

The Pirates have won the past six times Kuhl has started against Milwaukee. Kuhl is in excellent form, too, giving up just eight runs during his last five starts. The Brewers have failed to break the three-run barrier in six of their last nine games.

Travis Shaw has missed the Brewers' last two games. Shaw is tied for the Brewers' team lead in homers and RBI's.
