Giants -1.5 (+120 at Bovada), 2 units: This is a spot play on the team with the best record in baseball. San Francisco is holding onto a tiny 1/2 game lead in the NL West– here come the Dodgers!– and they’re in a rare position against the Brewers, at home, as losers of 4 of their last 5 games and 2 straight contests against the visiting team. That hasn’t happened often for the 2021 Giants and it won’t last. After a tough July, Kevin Gausman recalibrated and had another commanding month in August. I trust him today even though he’s up against a surging group of hitters. Few pitchers have been able to limit Milwaukee’s bats lately but Gausman is one of the few who can; and he’s been one of the most consistent major league pitchers all season. Four straight losses and a 5.40 ERA in August has the Brewers’ Brett Anderson as one of my fade candidates as we near the end of the regular season. This is a fantastic combination of factors in favor of the home team. The Giants are 7-2 in their last 9 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30 and 42-15 (74%) in their last 57 contests as a home favorite. I’m on the Giants by margin.
