San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (67-67) and Milwaukee Brewers (76-56) meet for the finale of a 3-game series Thursday. First pitch from American Family Field is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Milwaukee beat San Francisco 5-3 Wednesday as a -162 home favorite. The Brewers scored 5 runs in the 5th inning to go up 5-0 before allowing the Giants to score 3, but they were able to escape the late scare.

RHP Freddy Peralta was credited with the win as he pitched 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 2 hits and 3 walks with 8 K’s. The win snapped a 2-game skid for Milwaukee, while the Giants have lost 2 of their last 3.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Aaron Civale

Birdsong (3-3, 4.57 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 5.2 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 through 45 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 BB, 5 K in 6-5 setback at Seattle Mariners Friday
  • Has never faced Brewers

Civale (4-8, 4.84 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 through 128 1/3 innings with the Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 3 K in 11-3 victory at Oakland A’s Friday
  • Career vs. San Francisco: 1-1, 2.70 ERA (10 IP, 3 ER), 1.10 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 2 starts

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 7, Giants 6

Moneyline

LEAN BREWERS (-135).

Milwaukee is 3-1 in its last 4 home games and 6-4 in its last 10 overall, while the Giants are only 5-5 in their last 10 overall and 2-3 in their last 5 on the road.

The Brewers have also won 2 of the 3 meetings between these teams.

This is a lean because San Francisco is 4-2 in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

In a game where each team is so evenly matched, I always recommend betting on the underdog, in this case San Francisco, to cover. However, with the line set at +1.5 (-200), the Giants are favored far too heavily to risk betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Over is 3-1-1 in Milwaukee’s last 5 games and 4-0-2 in San Francisco’s last 6. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (67-66) and Milwaukee Brewers (75-56) play the middle contest of a 3-game set Wednesday at American Family Field. First pitch will be at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0

San Francisco took Tuesday’s series lid-lifter 5-4. The Giants hit 3 home runs and have 9 round-trippers over their last 4 contests.

Milwaukee was denied a 6th straight win at home with Tuesday’s setback. Brewers pitching has clocked a 3.22 ERA while the club has gone 8-4 since Aug. 14.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. RHP Freddy Peralta

Harrison (7-5, 4.00 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has authored a 1.30 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 117 innings.

  • Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 5-3 home victory vs. Chicago White Sox Aug. 19
  • 2024 road stats: 3-4, 4.61 ERA (56 2/3 IP, 29 ER), 1.39 WHIP, 7.3 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Has never faced Brewers

Peralta (8-7, 3.86 ERA) is making his 27th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 through 142 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 3-0 defeat at St. Louis Cardinals Thursday

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

PASS: look to the run line for better leverage here.

Run line/Against the spread

Looking at recent starts could well lead to some off-the-mark recency bias for both hurlers, giving too much of an edge to Peralta and the Brewers.

Both clubs have played more 1-run games than the league average (36 per Baseball-Reference.com). The Giants have played 40 and the Brewers have played 42.

Milwaukee has slashed a mere .190/.274/.350 (.625 OPS) while averaging just 3.31 runs per game over its last 13 home games.

BACK THE GIANTS +1.5 (-155).

Over/Under

The Over is 35-22-6 in Milwaukee home games.

Tuesday’s game edged on the Over, and the Over is 3-1 across the last 4 series meetings. The upside has also hit in 10 of the Giants’ last 15 games on the road.

The expected-vs.-actual run scoring/prevention numbers for both clubs make for an Over lean here.

Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8 (-110).

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

San Francisco is continuing a road trip that opened with the Giants losing 2 of 3 at the Seattle Mariners Friday-Sunday. The club is 5-8 across the last 13 games.

Milwaukee is back at home after a 3-3 road trip. The Brewers are seeking their 6th straight triumph at home.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Tobias Myers

Webb (11-8, 3.13 ERA) is making his 28th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 172 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 8 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 6 K in 6-2 loss vs. Chicago White Sox Wednesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

Peg Myers as a fade candidate. He’s been allowing some loud contact of late and for this rookie season owns an expected ERA significantly higher than the surface mark he’s toting around.

Webb has been getting deep into games and is in solid form.

BET THE GIANTS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Too. Much. Juice. PASS.

Over/Under

Even at this late date, its still possible to find some strength-of-schedule inequities with some teams. One that stands out is Milwaukee’s run prevention. The Brewers have collectively played a weaker-than-average batting opponent.

Playing this alongside the Myers fade, and adding in Webb being generally a stronger option in home starts (4.11 road ERA) makes the OVER 7.5 (-110) as solid bet.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (25-25) and Milwaukee Brewers (27-23) play the 2nd game of a 4-game set at American Family Field Friday. First pitch is at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 3-1

The Giants took Game 1 of the series 5-0 as -131 favorites Thursday. San Francisco used 6 different pitchers in a bullpen game shutout. OF Michael Conforto went 4 for 4 with a solo home run. The Giants are 8-2 over the last 10 games and 6-2 against the NL Central.

The Brewers had just 4 hits and struck out 13 times in Thursday’s series opener. They have lost 6 of 10 and are 13-17 over the last 30. They are still clinging to a 1½-game lead in the NL Central. The Brew Crew are 15-10 at home but just 8-9 against left-handed starters, which they’ll face Friday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Brewers projected starters

LHP Alex Wood vs. RHP Freddy Peralta

Wood (0-0, 4.05 ERA) is scheduled to make his 6th start and 7th appearance of 2023. He has a 1.45 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 20 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K in 7-5 home victory vs. Miami Marlins Sunday
  • One start vs. Brewers over last 4 years: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 0 ER (3 unearned), 4 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 8-5 home win July 15, 2022

Peralta (5-3, 4.15 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 52 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 6-4 victory at Tampa Bay Rays Sunday
  • Last 2 starts: 1-1, 6.54 ERA (11 1/3 IP, 9 ER), 11 H, 8 BB, 8 K

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Brewers 4

Moneyline

This will be an interesting one because Thursday was a bullpen game for the Giants, and Wood hasn’t gone more than 4 2/3 IP in his last 8 starts, going back to last season. On the other side, Peralta has allowed 3 or more earned runs in 4 of his last 7 starts.

Neither team has a good bullpen — the Giants are the 5th-worst in baseball at 4.70 even after 9 shutout innings Thursday. So, this will be a battle of the lumber in what I’d expect to be a closed roof at 58 degrees in Milwaukee.

The Giants are 4-0 in Wood’s last 4 starts vs. the NL Central, and they’re 4-1 in his 5 starts this season.

I’ll take the GIANTS (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is a prop bet that stands out, however. So, Wood has not struck out 6 hitters in a start this season. Is it possible he goes 5 or 6 innings and fans 7? Sure, he did it in his start against Milwaukee last season. But I’m going to stick with recent history, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this prop bet nerfed to 4.5 before first pitch.

Take ALEX WOOD UNDER 5.5 K’S (-125).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The forecast calls for 58 degrees in Milwaukee, which means the roof should be closed. There are a lot of Under trends here. It’s 5-0 in the last 5 head-to-head meetings in Milwaukee and 9-4 in the last 13 overall.

However, the Over is 2-0-2 in the last 4 home starts for Peralta when the number is between 7.0-8.5, and it’s 5-0-2 in hist last 7 starts at such a total. Plus, the Over is 3-0-1 in Wood’s last 4 Friday starts.

With the state of San Fran’s bullpen, and Peralta handing out earned runs, I’m going to LEAN OVER 8 (-105) as I feel the total should be a little higher.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (24-25) and Milwaukee Brewers (27-22) open a 4-game series Thursday at American Family Field. First pitch will be at 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-1 but have only outscored the Brewers 13-12.

The Giants have won 7 of their last 9 games to pull closer to the .500 mark on the year, recently sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies before taking 2 of 3 apiece from the Miami Marlins and Minnesota Twins. They’re still 6 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West, but they’re creeping up on the division leaders.

The Brewers took 2 of 3 games from the Houston Astros in their most recent series after losing back-to-back 2-1 series at the Tampa Bay Rays and at the St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee’s offense has only scored 205 runs, which ranks 23rd in the majors (entering Thursday), while the pitching staff’s 4.05 ERA is the 12th-best.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Brewers projected starters

LHP Scott Alexander vs. TBD

Alexander (4-0, 4.42 ERA) makes his 1st start of the season after coming out of the bullpen 21 times. He has a 0.98 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 4.4 K/9 through 18 1/3 innings.

  • Of his 21 relief appearances this season, Alexander has never pitched more than 1 1/3 innings in a single outing.
  • He’s only allowed 1 earned run and 2 hits in May, posting an ERA of 1.23 this month across 7 1/3 innings in 8 games.

As of this publishing, the Brewers have not named Thursday’s starter. An MLB.com report claims they agreed to a 1-year deal with RHP Julio Teheran, who will possibly get the nod. The 32-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021.

  • 2023 minor-league stats: 4-2, 5.63 ERA (40 IP, 25 ER), 1.68 WHIP, 10.1 K/9, 3.6 BB/9 in 8 starts for Triple-A El Paso (Padres)

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

The Giants are playing some good baseball right now, having won 7 of their last 9 games. And though they’ll have Alexander on as their opener in this one, I still like their chances to beat the Brewers, who are near the bottom of the league in runs scored.

BET GIANTS (-125) to win outright on the road in the series opener, having taken Game 1 of their last 4 series.

Run line/Against the spread

Without knowing the Brewers’ starter, I don’t love either side of the run line. The Giants aren’t exactly crushing teams right now, with 3 of their last 7 games being won by 1 run. The Brewers have also played relatively well in their last 2 games, winning 4-0 and 6-0.

PASS on the run line and instead stick to the money line.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in 4 of the Giants’ last 5 series openers, according to Covers. Neither of these offenses is exactly humming at the moment and both rank in the bottom third of the league in runs scored, so this could be a lower-scoring game than the Over/Under indicates.

BET UNDER 9 (+100) at even money.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

LHP Scott Alexander vs. RHP Corbin Burnes

Alexander (0-0, 1.69 ERA) makes his 6th appearance and 1st start of the season, and just the 2nd start of his 8-year career. He has a 0.56 WHIP, 0.0 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 in 5 1/3 IP.

  • Has been getting strikeouts in this year’s small sample, but over the previous 3 seasons had a low 5.2 K/9 in 59 appearances
  • This will be a short stint for Alexander, who hasn’t topped 20 pitches in an outing all season. He’ll give way to Jakob Junis, who has gone 5-plus innings just twice in his last 8 starts with a 5.40 ERA over that span

Burnes (9-6, 3.02 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 in 164 IP.

  • Has faced the Giants twice already, allowing just 1 ER in 14 IP with a 21/5 K/BB.
  • Boasts a 3.28 ERA and 12.2 K/9 in 14 home starts, but has had some issues with the long ball (1.4 HR/9) in Milwaukee.

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Giants 3

Money line

Burnes has been dominant throughout most of the season, but has hit a rough patch. He has allowed 14 ER in 15 1/3 IP in his last 3 starts and until we see him regain his form, laying more than 2:1 is a bit too steep. PASS on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread

Though Burnes has struggled lately, he should get back on track in short order. He is in a good spot to do so against a San Francisco team that has been reeling.

Junis has been better than his recent ERA would suggest, as a .354 BABIP played a role in his inflated ERA during the aforementioned 8-start span. But he probably won’t provide a lot of length and Milwaukee hits well at home, ranking 9th in runs per game (4.64). Look for the BREWERS -1.5 (+105) to come out on top by multiple runs.

Over/Under

The over is 7-1-2 in the last 10 games for the Giants and has hit in each of Burnes’ last 4 starts. Burnes hasn’t been at his best lately and can’t be counted on to completely shut the Giants down, so look for this total to push OVER 7.5 (-115).

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (11-5) and Milwaukee Brewers (10-6) meet for a solo game at American Family Field Monday. First pitch is slated for 6:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: first meeting. Milwaukee outscored San Francisco 27-25 in taking four of seven games against the Giants in 2021.

San Francisco is coming off a three-game series sweep at the Washington Nationals. A scheduling oddity due to the season’s one-week delay has this Giants-Brewers meeting being shoehorned into Monday and then a one-day doubleheader Sept. 8.

The Brewers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 Sunday and have won six of their last seven games. Sunday’s contest was a night game, so the Brewers have a slightly quicker than usual turnaround for this away contest.

Run line/Against the spread

The San Francisco bullpen is better set up for this game. Milwaukee has a left lean to its lineup and has thus far struggled against left-handed pitching with a .545 OPS.

TAKE THE GIANTS +1.5 (-140).

Over/Under

Both bullpens are good but likely too far over their skis with the early-season numbers being hoisted. There is some growth potential in the numbers for both offenses also.

BACK THE OVER 7.5 (+110).
