Season Series: Brewers Lead 3-1

The Brewers cruised to a 3-2 victory in Tuesday’s season opener as a slight favorite (-110) while the under (7.5) cashed. Since the Giants won the season opener at American Family Field on Aug. 27, the Brewers have won each of the last three meetings, all as favorites, with the under going 2-0-1.

For the Giants, they have come to life with 3 wins in their last 5 games, while going 3-0 in their last 3 outings as underdogs on the run line. However, San Francisco is just 4-8 in their last 12 games, while going 0-3 against Milwaukee in that span. The Under has a 3-2 lead in their last 5 games, and a 6-5 lead in their previous 11 games.

Brewers at Giants Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Brewers 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

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

In Snell’s last start, he struggled through a 42-pitch 1st inning, and didn’t return for the 2nd inning. He appears to have retired from the season, and the Giants in particular, and Rea is a much less risky player.

Run line/Against the spread

If you just can’t play, BREWERIES +1.5 (-166) If for some reason you need a small insurance, the price of it is not unmanageable.

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

The -1.5 Giants (+138) have struggled and have failed to make gains on the run line in their last 3 attempts as favorites, losing 2 times.

Over/Under

PREVENT.

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

The Over-Under is 6-6-2 in the last 14 games for the Giants, so there’s nothing to learn from them. If there was a lean, it would be the Under, which has won 5 in a row for the Brewers. But the best plan is to stay away.
