Milwaukee rides a six-game cushion in the NL Central into a three-game set with Pittsburgh, aiming for a second double-digit win streak this season. The Brewers knocked off the Mets in walk-off fashion to stretch their run to nine straight wins and have gone 24-4 since a July stumble, with Jose Quintana taking the ball to keep the surge rolling in the series opener. Andrew Heaney counters for Pittsburgh, a matchup that will shape early-season fantasy lineups and betting angles alike.

Strikeout markets are deeming Quintana at 4.5 and Heaney at 3.5, with SportsLine projecting Heaney Over 3.5 Ks as a 4-star play and Quintana Under 4.5 as a 3-star lean. The preview also points to other juicy props on the board (Elvis Peguero Over 1.5, Logan Webb Over 5.5) and ties in a broader narrative on bullpen leverage and the latest momentum for Brewers hitters and Pirates arms.

In fantasy terms, Milwaukee’s offensive surge and Quintana’s track record against Pittsburgh matter most, while Pittsburgh’s rotation depth and the undercurrents of multi-start schedules could swing daily fantasy value and DFS bets. The night’s card underscores how a single series can tilt both standings and fantasy rosters as the playoff push accelerates.
