Giants vs Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Giants here. I just really like how the Giants have been looking over the course of this series. I think it’s going to take a start or two for Myers to get acclimated, which isn’t good for a Brewers’ bullpen that was used a fair bit after a shorter outing from Freddy Peralta on Wednesday. Roupp has solid stuff, and this Giants’ bullpen has been fantastic as well. I look for the Giants’ bats to show up again here and for the Giants to earn the series win in this one. Give me San Francisco.
