Pick
I’m backing the Giants here. Give credit where it’s due to the Brewers, as they’re a solid team and Corbin Burnes is still the staff ace, but he’s been less effective at home this season and the Giants have been the far better team between the two in the last couple of weeks. Logan Webb had a rough start to the year but he’s picked it up over the last month and really is not someone I’m looking to step in front of right now. Give me the Giants here.
