Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Francisco Giants preview
The Giants arrive in Milwaukee riding a season-long battle to stay relevant, sitting 18 games behind the surging Brewers who've emerged as one of baseball's most complete teams.
Logan Webb takes the ball for San Francisco with a solid 3.39 career ERA, but he'll face a Brewers lineup that leads the majors with 5.2 runs per game and has been particularly tough on visiting pitchers at American Family Field.
Milwaukee counters with veteran Jose Quintana, whose 3.72 career ERA reflects steady reliability, and he'll have the luxury of working with baseball's fourth-best team ERA behind him.
The contrast is stark - San Francisco ranks 25th in scoring at just 4.1 runs per game while Milwaukee's offense has been relentless, supported by a .407 team slugging percentage that dwarfs the Giants' .376 mark.
With the Brewers' bullpen converting saves at a 72% clip compared to San Francisco's struggling 61.7% rate, late-inning situations could prove decisive in what shapes up as a classic David versus Goliath matchup.
