San Francisco
The Giants are 17-6 in the last 23 meetings. The under is 18-8-1 in the last 27 San Francisco games overall.
Prediction:
Milwaukee has righted the ship after a recent lengthy losing skid, while San Francisco is trending the other way with losses in six of its last eight. I’m willing to take a shot on the underdog here as the Brewers have already proven they can score at AT&T Park, while Bumgarner hasn’t been always dominant since his return from the DL. Anderson has had an up-and-down season, but the ballpark boost will help him here. My advice is to take a shot on Milwaukee in this spot.
