Milwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants Prediction

Heading into Thursday night’s matchup between Milwaukee and San Francisco, the odds suggest this game could go either way. However, I recommend taking the Giants to come away with the win, as Milwaukee’s bats are prone to falling silent vs top-end pitching. Even with Corbin Burnes on the mound for the Brewers, I still like San Francisco on the moneyline.
