Milwaukee is a first place team with a powerhouse offense, eighth in runs scored and fifth in slugging. The Breweres are hungry for a win after dropping four in a row and have their stopper going in Kyle Lohse (3.42 ERA). The Brewers are 17-8 in Lohse's last 25 starts, plus 9-3 as a dog. He has a 1.19 WHIP and 119-38 strikeout to walk ratio in 165.2 innings, along with an 8-5 road mark. It's tough to back the wacky Giants, even at home, with San Francisco 8-24 against a team with a winning record, including 6-15 at home. Madison Bumgarner has a 1.86 ERA on the road, but is 5-6 with a 4.58 ERA at home! The Giants are 2-6 in Madison Bumgarner's last eight home starts, as well as 0-6 when he faces a team with a winning record. Play the Brewers.
