My best bet for Brewers-Giants
OVER 8.5 runs
These teams have a habit of going OVER the total when meeting in the Bay Area, as the OVER is 3-0-1 in the past four matchups between the Giants and Brewers in San Fran.
I’m on that trend to continue in this game since the Brewers have been going OVER on the road (3-0-1 in their last four road games). Samardzija hasn’t been faring well on the mound lately and I think the Brewers get to him early and often to push this one OVER.
The OVER is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings between these teams in San Francisco. The OVER is 3-0-1 in the Brewers' last four road games.away The Brewers are 0-4 SU in their last four against NL West teams.away
