Money line
HAPPEN: Pay attention to the running line here to achieve better leverage.
Running Line/Against the Spread
A look at recent starts could well lead to a false reviewer bias on both pitchers, giving Peralta and the Brewers too much of an advantage.
Both teams have played more 1-run games than the league average (36 according to Baseball-Reference.com). The Giants have played 40 and the Brewers have played 42 games.
Milwaukee has a batting average of just .190/.274/.350 (.625 OPS) in its last 13 home games, scoring an average of just 3.31 runs per game.
SUPPORT THE GIANTS +1.5 (-155).
Over/Under
In Milwaukee's home games, the over is 35-22-6.
Tuesday's game was close, and in the last four games of the series the over is 3-1. The over has also been a success in 10 of the Giants' last 15 road games.
The expected and actual numbers of points scored/prevented for both clubs show an over-tendency here.
Consider a partial unit game on the OVER 8 (-110).
