Giants vs. Brewers prediction and pick

My strategy when betting on games involving the Brewers continues to work, just like it did last night.

It's very simple. When the Brewers face a left-handed starter, we fade them and bet on their opponent. It's as simple as that. Their OPS this season drops from .728 against right-handed pitchers to .620 against left-handed pitchers, which is the worst mark in all of Major League Baseball.

With the Giants starting a lefty in Alex Wood, we're clear to bet on the Giants. It's also worth noting that Wood has a career 1.29 ERA across 21 innings pitched against the Brewers.

The same is true against the Giants, who have dominated righties this season, ranking 9th in Major League Baseball against right-handed pitchers. Tonight, they'll take on a righty in Freddy Peralta.

Finally, the Brewers bullpen has fallen apart in May. They're 27th in bullpen ERA this month at 5.42.

Give me the Brewers as underdogs tonight.
