The betting odds highlight a slight edge for the Milwaukee Brewers, reflecting their stronger season record. However, the tight spread and moneyline indicate that oddsmakers expect a closely contested battle. Given both teams’ recent performances and the Brewers’ slight advantage, bettors might consider the Brewers on the moneyline as a potentially profitable pick.
Frankie Montas (6-10, 4.69 ERA) vs. Hayden Birdsong (3-5, 5.19 ERA)
This season, Frankie Montas has been an unquestionable workhorse for the Brewers in spite of his poor win-loss record and an ERA hovering around 4.70. Montas has pitched over 132 innings and has struck out 120 batters which shows that he has the capability of eating up the innings and getting outs. The most frightening thing for him will be handling the game and controlling the walks, so far this season he has 57 and many times they have landed him in hot waters.
On the other hand, Hayden Birdsong’s season has been more frustrating this year to the Giants. Birdsong’s 5.19 ERA in 52 innings with a 1.50 WHIP has not helped his cause. He shows decent strike-outs, however, the high walks and home runs given up make one think that it would not go well against the Brewers’ hitters. Thus, Birdsong must also be very careful with the power hitters of the Brewers, making sure he keeps the ball down and does not leave any long-fly balls.
Brewers’ Batting Power and Pitching Precision
The Milwaukee Brewers have showcased solid team statistics this season, with a .25 batting average and notable slugging from their lineup, including 161 home runs. Their on-base percentage at .328 complements their ability to drive runs in crucial situations. The pitching staff holds a respectable 3.58 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP, suggesting a balanced approach to both offense and defense. This dual threat could be pivotal in today’s game as they look to capitalize on the Giants’ weaker pitching.
Giants’ Struggle and Resilience
The San Francisco Giants have not had the most robust offensive output, with a .239 batting average and 617 runs scored. However, their resilience is not to be underestimated, especially at Oracle Park. With a slightly higher home run count than the Brewers and a competitive spirit, the Giants could leverage their underdog status to upset the higher-ranked Brewers, particularly if their bullpen steps up and Birdsong manages to hold off the early innings.
