Free Brewers vs. Giants MLB Pick

The Brewers played terribly in game 1 of this series, looking sloppy in the field. But they bounced back with a nice win last night. This sets them up with Freddy Peralta on the mound. Look for the Brewers’ ace to pick up another win for the crew. I like Milwaukee on the money line.
