Pick

I’m backing the Brewers here. Freddy Peralta has been far more effective at home this season with an ERA that’s four runs lower than his road ERA, and while the giants have been playing the better ball as a whole, I’m still not sure what to make of Alex Wood in the starting role and think he could be in trouble here. I’ll back the Brew Crew at home in this one.
