Brewers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 4, Giants 3
Moneyline
BET BREWERS (+110).
Milwaukee lost the first 2 games of the series by multiple runs but should be able to avoid the sweep. The Brewers are 4-1 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series and should be able to bounce back. Stripling has been underwhelming this season and should continue to struggle vs. the Brewers who are facing the threat of getting swept.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Milwaukee +1.5 (-175) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Brewers moneyline should hit. Bet Milwaukee moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 9 (-105).
The Under is 3-1-1 in Milwaukee’s last 5 games vs. right-handed starters and 21-8-3 in its last 32 after a loss.
These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other, with the Under hitting in 8 of the last 11 meetings, and Sunday’s matchup should stay under the total again after both teams combined for just 5 runs Saturday.
