Starting Pitchers

Corbin Burnes was his usual dominant self last Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs, allowing only three hits and no runs while striking out 10 batters before Milwaukee went on to lose the game 2-1. Burnes is ranked in the the top five in the majors in ERA (2.20), WHIP (0.89) and strikeouts (134) through 106.1 innings pitched.

Carlos Rodon pitched a complete game in San Francisco’s 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres last Saturday, giving up three hits and one earned run and striking out 12. After going through a rough patch with a 5.67 ERA in May, Rodon has been pitching at an elite level since the beginning of June and has a 2.70 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and 124 strikeouts on the season to show for it.

Milwaukee Has Been Struggling As A Favorite This Month

The Brewers were underdogs in their last two games on the road against the Minnesota Twins, winning 6-3 on Tuesday and losing 4-1 on Wednesday. Prior to that series, Milwaukee went just 1-4 over its previous five games despite being favored in all five contests.

Two of those four losses came as a -275 favorite, including Corbin Burnes’ last start against the Cubs. Bettors taking Milwaukee as their Brewers vs Giants prediction on Thursday will be counting on the Brew Crew to provide their ace with some run support this time around.

San Francisco Finally Going Back In The Right Direction

The Giants entered last weekend in the midst of a dreadful 4-14 slump. Carlos Rodon’s complete-game victory over the Padres helped turn the tide, with San Francisco now 4-1 over its last five games. The Giants have scored 35 runs in those five outings, more than they had managed in their previous 11 games combined.

Wilmer Flores has racked up four home runs, five runs and nine RBIs in San Francisco’s last five games. This suddenly surging offense will be put to the test Thursday facing one of the best starting pitchers in the game.

Brewers vs Giants Pick & Insights

Brewers: Keys To Victory

The Brewers are 9-5 in Corbin Burnes’ last 14 starts, and they’ve averaged only 1.4 runs per game in those five losses. Burnes is almost always good for six or seven high-quality innings before handing the ball over to Milwaukee’s solid bullpen, so the pressure is on the offense to do enough to cash in as a Brewers vs Giants prediction.

Giants: Keys To Victory

The Giants grinded out a 4-2 win over the Brewers the last time they faced Burnes back in April, scoring all four runs in the final two innings of the game after Burnes was pulled. Carlos Rodon should do his part in keeping this one low-scoring on both sides, so it will once again be up to San Francisco’s batters to be the difference-makers for the hosts to be the winning Brewers vs Giants pick.
