Finally ending a streak of 10 straight losses in series openers in their matchup with the Phillies, the Giants open a series against the Brewers on Monday looking to stop another streak in icebreakers that’s haunted San Fran bettors more than it has the team itself.
At 51-75 against the spread, the Giants aren’t the worst runline team in baseball but they’re pretty darn close. They’ll be getting the +1.5-run advantage on the spread this evening but they’ll be sending a largely unproven pitcher to the mound to face Zach Davies (14-6, 4.26 ERA), a young righty who’s given the Brewers a chance to win almost every game he’s started.
Milwaukee has actually gone 6-1 SU in its last seven road games when Davies has started and as we all know, the Giants are awful. The third-year hurler’s 2.52 ERA through 12 starts away from Miller Park should help the Brew Crew end its dismal run at AT&T Park tonight.
