Brewers vs Giants Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. Is Jose Quintana my favorite option in the Brewers’ rotation? No, but he’s been good enough to be a solid option for Milwaukee, and the Brewers are still finding ways to win and get the job done. The Giants have not been good against lefties as of late, and I think this is just the prime matchup for Milwaukee to succeed once again here. Give me the Brew Crew.
