Brewers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Brewers 2
Money line
The Brewers have been held to 3 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 games. They have not lost more than 2 in a row since dropping 8 straight from June 3-11.
They have lost 5 of Ashby’s last 6 starts.
The Giants are 11-7 with Webb on the mound this season.
Take the GIANTS (-150).
Run line/Against the spread
The Brewers managed to cover the spread in Saturday’s game, but they have only covered the spread twice in their last 10 games. They are 24-28 ATS on the road.
The Giants, though, are only 17-30 ATS at home this season. They are 7-4 ATS in their last 11 games.
But with Webb on the mound against Ashby, who had a really rough stretch in June, I say take the GIANTS -1.5 (+140).
Over/Under
Three of the 4 games between the 2 teams this season as have had 7 or fewer runs.
Nine of the Giants’ last 15 games have had 8 or more total runs.
Three of the Brewers’ last 6 have had 8 or more runs.
I LEAN OVER 7.5 (-120).
