Giants vs Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I get why the Giants would be worth the look at home, but the thing about Jordan Hicks is he’s a flamethrower, but he puts so much behind those pitches. He gases himself far too early in his starts and either gets hit hard or puts a lot of strain on the Giants’ bullpen. Milwaukee has a solid bullpen, and Quintana’s been fantastic out of the gate, and I think the Brewers even up the series here. Give me the Brew Crew on the road.
