Trends

Milwaukee is 11-3 in their last 14 game two’s of a series and 8-3 in their last 11 Saturday games. The under is 16-7 in Milwaukee’s last 23 game two’s of a series. San Francisco is 8-17 in their last 25 game two’s of a series and 2-6 in their last 8 Saturday games. The over is 6-0 in San Francisco’s last 6 Saturday games. The under is 7-3 in these two teams last 10 head to head meetings.

Pick

Milwaukee comes into this game struggling in recent games, but they still have a solid record and are in second place in the NL Central. The Giants did win their last series against Houston, but their starting pitching as not been good so far this year. Milwaukee is starting Colin Rea, who has allowed 10 earned runs in his last three starts. The Giants are starting Alex Cobb, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. I like the pitching matchup in this game and I am going to take the under.
