Milwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (83-62) take on the San Francisco Giants (72-74) Thursday in the finale of a 3-game set at Oracle Park at 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Brewers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 3-2

The Brewers were given bitter beer face by a 13-2 loss to the Giants Wednesday. They have lost 6 of 8 but really have nothing to worry about in the NL Central with the Chicago Cubs 8½ back.

The Giants hit 3 homers, including 3B Matt Chapman‘s 24th homer Wednesday in the laugher. They’ve won 3 of 4 but are an afterthought 8 games out of a Wild Card spot.

Brewers at Giants projected starters

RHP Frankie Montas vs. RHP Hayden Birdsong

Montas (6-10, 4.69 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 through 132 1/3 innings with the Cincinnati Reds and Brewers.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 10 K in 3-2 home setback Friday against Colorado Rockies
  • 3 career starts vs. Giants: 0-0, 3.24 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 17 K in 16 2/3 IP

Birdsong (3-5, 5.19 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 6.1 BB/9 and 11.1 K/9 through 52 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 2 ER, 5 BB, 4 K in 6-4 home defeat Sept. 4 against Arizona Diamondbacks
  • 1 career start vs. Brewers: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 6 K Aug. 29

Brewers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Brewers 4

Moneyline

As mentioned, the Brewers are coasting along to the finish line here as their magic number to clinch the division dwindles. Because of that, I like the home side for the price.

Take the GIANTS +105.

Run line/Against the spread

The prop that is the outlier to me is HAYDEN BIRDSONG UNDER 14.5 OUTS (-130). This dude hasn’t gone 5 innings in 6 straight starts.

Over/Under

It’s expected to be a little chilly at 65 degrees for first pitch, but there’s slated to be a 10-mph wind blowing out to straightaway center field. The Over is a no-brainer here. Montas has given up at least 3 ER in 3 straight starts, and Birdsong has allowed 7 ER in 6 2/3 IP in his last 2 GS.

Take the OVER 7.5 (-110).

Milwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (83-61) and San Francisco Giants (71-74) play the middle contest of a 3-game series Wednesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 9:45 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 3-1

The Brewers picked up a 3-2 victory in Tuesday’s series opener as a slight favorite (-110) as the Under (7.5) cashed. After the Giants won the season opener at American Family Field on Aug. 27, the Brewers have won each of the past 3 meetings, all as a favorite, with the Under going 2-0-1.

Milwaukee has won just twice in the past 6 games, but it is an impressive 6-2 in the previous 8 outings on the road. The Under has cashed in 5 in a row for the Brewers.

For the Giants, they’ve come alive for 3 wins in the past 5 games, while going 3-0 in the past 3 outings as an underdog on the run line. However, San Francisco is just 4-8 in the past 12 games, while going 0-3 against Milwaukee in that span. The Under has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 games, and 6-5 edge in the previous 11 contests.

Brewers at Giants projected starters

RHP Colin Rea vs. LHP Blake Snell

Rea (12-4, 3.72 ERA) makes his 25th start and 28th appearance. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 in 150 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 3-2 home loss in 10 innings vs. St. Louis Cardinals
  • 2024 road splits: 5-1, 3.50 ERA, 69 1/3 IP, 27 ER, 9 HR, 1.34 WHIP, .265 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 21 BB, 53 K in 11 starts (13 appearances)
  • Career vs. Giants: 1-2, 5.29 ERA, 17 IP, 10 ER, 4 HR, 0.94 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 in 3 starts

Snell (2-3, 3.62 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 12.0 K/9 in 87 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 1 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 2 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 3-2 home win vs. Arizona Diamondbacks last Thursday (42 pitches)
  • 2024 home splits: 0-2, 2.96 ERA, 48 2/3 IP, 16 ER, 2 HR, 1.09 WHIP, .190 OBA, 19 BB, 69 K in 10 starts
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-2, 8.00 ERA, 9 IP, 8 ER, 3 HR, 1.44 WHIP, 14.0 K/9 in 2 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

The BREWERS (+120) are a solid play on the road behind Rea. Milwaukee is closing in on a NL Central title, while the Giants (-142) are all but eliminated. Milwaukee is a strong value on the road.

In Snell’s last start, he labored through a 42-pitch 1st inning, and he didn’t come back out for the 2nd inning. He appears to have checked out on the season, and the Giants in particular, and Rea is a much less risky play.

Run line/Against the spread

If you just can’t play the BREWERS +1.5 (-166) straight up for some reason, and you need a little insurance, this isn’t priced out of control.

As an underdog, Milwaukee is 6-1 on the run line, and all 6 covers have been outright victories, too.

The Giants -1.5 (+138) are struggling, failing to cash on the run line in the past 3 tries as a favorite, with 2 losses outright.

Over/Under

AVOID.

I see the Total (7) landing right on the number, and it’s a good idea to stay away.

The Over-Under is 6-6-2 in the past 14 games for the Giants, so there is nothing to glean there. If there was a lean, it would be Under, which has cashed in 5 in a row for the Brewers. But, the best plan is to stay away.

The Milwaukee Brewers (82-61) and San Francisco Giants (71-73) open a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 2-1

The Brewers have an 8½-game lead over the 2nd-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. However, Milwaukee has dropped 5 of its last 7 games and is coming off a 2-1 series loss to the visiting Colorado Rockies. It lost the Sunday finale 4-1 as a -286 favorite as the Under (7.5) hit.

The Giants have lost 7 of their last 11 outings, but are 3-1 in their last 4 and enter this series on a short 2-game winning streak. They won 2 of 3 games at the San Diego Padres, closing out the series with a 7-6 win as +168 underdogs Sunday with the Over (8) cashing.

Brewers at Giants projected starters

RHP Aaron Civale vs. RHP Hayden Birdsong

Civale (5-8, 4.62 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 through 140 1/3 innings with the Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 7-4 home loss to St. Louis Cardinals Sept. 3
  • Is 3-2 with 3.88 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 10 starts with Brewers

Birdsong (3-5, 5.19 ERA) makes his 13th start. The rookie has a 1.50 WHIP, 6.1 BB/9 and 11.1 K/9 through 52 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 5 BB, 4 K in 6-4 home setback to Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-1, 1 road start (Aug. 29), 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 6 K

  • Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Giants 4

Moneyline

Opponents have scored 5 or more runs in 5 of Birdsong’s last 6 starts. The Giants have lost his last 6 starts.

Civale was brilliant in his last appearance against the Giants. The Brewers (-130) have won 4 of his last 5 starts, and he has allowed no more than 3 runs in his last 5.

But when betting the favorite, the run line is usually better to bet because of the plus odds.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Both the Brewers’ wins over the Giants this season have been by 2 or more runs. Ten of their last 14 wins have been by multiple runs.

Eight of the Giants’ last 12 losses have been by multiple runs.

BET BREWER -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

Two of the 3 meetings this season have had at least 8 total runs.

Five of the Giants’ last 7 games have had 8 or more runs.

Eight of Civale’s 10 starts with the Brewers have had 8 or more total runs.

BET OVER 7.5 (-110).

The Giants lost the series-opening game 5-1 Friday, but bounced back with a 6-3 win over the Padres Saturday.

San Francisco has struggled as of late and has dropped to 4th in the NL West. It is 4-8 over its last 12 games and 2-5 over its last 7. The Giants are 30-41 on the road and 67-76 against the spread (ATS).

The Padres have lost 2 of their last 3 games after a near sweept of the Detroit Tigers in the series prior. They are 2nd in the NL West and are 6-3 over their last 9 games. San Diego is 40-34 at home and 73-71 ATS.

Giants at Padres projected starters

RHP Spencer Bivens vs. RHP Joe Musgrove

Bivens (3-1, 2.86 ERA) makes his 2nd start and 20th appearance. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 in 34 2/3 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Giants are too risky, especially given the Padres have an ace on the mound. San Diego is far too expensive to take here as well.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS  +1.5 (-118).

The Giants are just 2-5 over their last 7 games, but 2 of those losses have come by 1 run and another 2 have come by 2 runs, so they’ve been able to keep games close. San Francisco is 36-34 ATS as a road team this season.

The Padres have a similar story. While they are 4-2 over their last 6 games, 2 of those wins have come by 1 run. They are among the bottom third in the majors in covering at home with just a 30-43 ATS record.

Considering those trends, take GIANTS +1.5 (-118).

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

The Giants have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games and are 72-65-6 O/U on the season. San Francisco has allowed at least 5 runs in 4 of its last 6 games.

The Padres have a similar season-long trend at 77-64-3 O/U. San Diego has gone 4-3-1 O/U in its last 8 games. With those trends in mind, back OVER 8.5 (-105).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Padres 3

Moneyline

BET GIANTS (+130).

The Giants have their ace on the mound, and Webb has been a strong starting option for San Francisco. The Giants are 5-2 in Webb’s last 7 starts. The Giants are 40-32 following a loss as well, which they are here.

The Padres have played well over the last week but are just 5-4 over their last 9 games. They have tallied 4 or fewer in 6 of those 9 games as well. For the value here, take GIANTS (+130).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Giants are too expensive as a run-line underdog while the home-side Padres are too risky as a run-line favorite. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7 (-110).

The Giants have gone Over in Webb’s last 3 starts and are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games. They have scored at least 4 in 3 of their last 5 and have allowed at least 6 in 3 of those as well.

San Francisco is 71-65-6 O/U this season. The Padres are 3-3-1 O/U in their last 7 games and are 76-64-3 O/U this season. Considering those trends, take OVER 7 (-110).

Giants at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no value on the moneyline here. The Padres are far too expensive to play here, and the Giants, especially considering their starting option, aren’t worth a play either.

Run line/Against the spread

BET PADRES -1.5 (+105).

The Giants are among the worst road-covering teams in the MLB with a 35-33 ATS record away from home. They are 2-6 in their last 8 games and have lost 4 of those 6 by multiple runs.

The Padres have covered in 4 of King’s last 7 starts. San Diego has a major pitching advantage with Black having struggled this season. Black has allowed 4 or more ERs in 3 of his 5 appearances. Expect San Diego to score often and enough to cover here.

Back PADRES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-122).

The Padres have consistently gone Over this season and are 76-63-3 O/U. They are 3-2-1 O/U in their last 6 games, scoring at least 4 in 4 of their last 6.

The Giants are 71-64-6 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 3 of their last 4, allowing at least 6 in 3 of 4. Considering those trends, take OVER 7.5 (-122).

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 2

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+125).

Arizona is 3-1 in its last 4 games overall and has won 8 straight on the road, while the Giants have dropped 4 straight overall and are only 3-7 in their last 10.

The Diamondbacks are also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall and 4-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Diamondbacks will cover here as +1.5 (-185) underdogs, but their odds are safer on the moneyline, and I am not a fan of doubling down, so I advise passing on this bet and playing the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (+105).

The Over has hit in 6 straight games for Arizona and is 9-1 in its last 10. For San Francisco, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in each of the last 4 overall meetings between these squads and is 4-0-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 4 K in 3-2 home loss to New York Mets Thursday

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-115) have won 6 straight games on the road, and  scoring runs has not been a problem. They have scored 6 or more runs in 4 straight games and in 8 of their last 11.

The Giants have not scored more than 5 runs in 14 straight games.

Nelson has been pitching very well, while Harrison struggled more in August.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks’ last 9 wins have been by multiple runs.

However, 3 of the Giants’ last 6 losses have been by only 1 run.

Betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -185 odds doesn’t make sense. While betting the Diamondbacks to cover has a nice payout, after losing 5 of their last 7, a simple win on the moneyline is the way to go.

PASS.

Over/Under

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ last 11 games have had 8 or more total runs. Five of the 7 games between the Diamondbacks and Giants have had at least 8 runs.

BET OVER 7.5 (-110).

Miami Marlins at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Miami Marlins at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (68-69) welcome the Miami Marlins (50-86) to Oracle Park Sunday for the finale of a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 3-2

The Marlins beat the Giants 4-3 Saturday yet lost the series-opening battle 3-1 Friday. Miami has traded off winning and losing over its last 8 games. It sits 5th in the NL East and is 25-42 on the road this season. Miami lost 2 of 3 games at home to San Francisco earlier in the season (April 15-17). It is 63-73 against the spread (ATS).

The Giants still have postseason aspirations despite sitting 4th in the NL West. San Francisco has lost 3 of its last 4 games and 6 of its last 9. The Giants are 65-72 ATS on the season. They have performed much better at home, having a 39-29 record at Oracle Park. San Francisco has won 4 of its last 6 at home.

Marlins at Giants projected starters

RHP Darren McCaughan vs. RHP Logan Webb

McCaughan (0-0, 8.62 ERA) makes his 1st start and 6th appearance. The rookie has a 2.11 WHIP, 5.2 BB/9 and 4.6 K/9 through 15 2/3 innings.

  • 2024 away stats: 0-0, 12.46 ERA (8 2/3 IP, 12 ER), 2.42 WHIP, 3.1 K/9 in 2 appearances
  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 11-8 home victory July 26, 2021, with Seattle Mariners

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 5-4 road win over Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Marlins at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Marlins 2

Moneyline

PASS.

San Francisco (-255) is just far too expensive to take here at more than double your money for a unit of return. The Marlins aren’t worth a play either, as they’ve struggled on the road this season.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS -1.5 (-105).

The Giants have a significant pitching advantage Sunday with Webb on the mound. San Francisco has covered the spread in 4 of Webb’s last 5 starts and is 35-33 ATS following a loss.

Given Miami’s recent trend of losing following a win, it is primed to come up short in this one. The Marlins are 22-27 ATS following a win, a cover rate in the lower half of the league (20th).

Considering those trends and the pitching discrepancy, take GIANTS -1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-124).

The Giants are 2-4 O/U in Webb’s last 6 starts. The NL leader in IP has allowed a total of just 8 runs over his last 6 starts and 1 or fewer in 4 of his last 6. San Francisco has gone Under in 3 straight and is 4-7-3 O/U in its last 14.

The Marlins have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games as well, scoring 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 9. Couple it all together, and back UNDER 7.5 (-124).
