Brewers vs Giants Prediction
San Francisco was able to get a much needed win on Saturday in game two of this series, as they have really fallen apart over the last few weeks. The Giants are 32-35 on the road this year, while the Brewers are 43-21 at home. Milwaukee has a comfortable lead in the NL Central, but they have not announced a starter for this one. SF is going with Ray, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings. This San Francisco offense has been pretty bad all season and with Ray on the mound, the Brewers shouldn’t do much. Take the under here.
