San Francisco Giants vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction: Brewers will be closer to victory

San Francisco defeated Arizona and now will begin a home series with Milwaukee, one of the strongest teams in the National League. How will the first game of the confrontation end? Let's choose several options for betting at once.

Before facing Milwaukee, San Francisco took on their rival in the Western Division of the National League, Arizona, and pulled out a hard-fought win in the final third game – 3-4, 13-0, 4-3. It's the first win streak for the Giants in nearly a month. Last time Gabe Kapler's team handled Pittsburgh on June 15-16.

San Francisco's starting pitcher for the first game against Milwaukee is Carlos Rodon, 8-5 and with a 2.70 ERA in 17 starts this season.

The Brewers had a bad home series with Pittsburgh, losing twice in a row, and then traveled to Minneapolis. There, Craig Counsell's team handled the Twins 6-3 in the first, and were close in the second as well, but fell behind offensively in the ninth inning, with the score 1-1, missing a three-run home run, 1-4.

Corbin Burnes will pitch for Milwaukee in the upcoming game at Oracle Park, 7-4 and a 2.20 ERA in 17 meetings.

The score in the season series is 1-0 in favor of San Francisco.

Milwaukee beat San Francisco in four out of seven games last season.

San Francisco only won one series in a month, by a huge margin against National League outsider Arizona. So in games against much more status opponent like Milwaukee, the Giants don't seem to have much chance of success. Particularly in the first game of the showdown, given Corbin Burnes on the mound for the Brewers.

Prediction: Milwaukee will win.
