My complimentary winner is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Francisco Giants, and I want you to list the scheduled starting pitchers, with Zach Davies over Madison Bumgarner.
After an extra-innings loss last night, the Brewers will have a bit of revenge on the brain, and Davies is the right guy to silence San Francisco's bats.
The right-hander was the team's most pleasant surprise in the first half, as he's responded well from an injury-plagued 2018 season. He won his first seven decisions this year, and was sporting a 2.41 ERA before taking a loss in San Francisco on June 14.
Now, he gets his rematch against these same Giants. And I'm banking on him to do some damage against one of the weakest lineups in baseball. San Francisco has the worst batting average, at .230, and has scored the fourth-fewest runs this season, with 379.
Then you factor in Bumgarner, who left his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals last Saturday, when he lasted just two innings after taking a comebacker off his pitching arm. Last he faced the Brewers, on June 15 at Oracle Park, he was pelted for five runs (three of them earned) over six innings.
Take the Brew Crew here.
