The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 11 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 4 of their last 8 games. The Brewers have won 6 of their last 9 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Brian Anderson leads the Brewers with 28 hits and 20 RBI, while Christian Yelich and Rowdy Tellez have combined for 53 hits and 35 RBI. Colin Rea gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 4.79 ERA and 18 strikeouts this season. This will be Rea’s second career game against the Giants.

The Brewers are 8-3 in their last 11 Saturday games and 0-4 in their last 4 overall. The Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 2-6 in their last 8 Saturday games. The under is 6-2-1 in Brewers last 9 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Giants last 5 home games. The Brewers are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in San Francisco.
The Brewers are having issues finishing games this week, and Rea on the mound isn’t all that encouraging. The San Francisco Giants are enjoying a nice stretch this week, and Cobb has been sharp through 33.1 innings. This is a matter of siding with the team in better form, and it doesn’t hurt they’re at home. Give me the Giants.
