The Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants will continue a three-game series on Tuesday night. It's time to continue our MLB odds series and make a Brewers-Giants prediction and pick.

The Brewers managed to take the first game of this series behind a good pitching performance from Corbin Burnes. That win stretched Milwaukee's lead in the NL Central to 9.5 games. The Brewers are also in contention for the best record in the NL, trailing only the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants, on the other hand, are far from a lock to win their division. The aforementioned Dodgers are hot on their heels, trailing by only a game and a half. This matchup has plenty at stake, so it should be a playoff-like atmosphere.

Here's how the bookmakers have set the lines for Tuesday's game.

MLB Odds: Brewers-Giants Odds

San Francisco Giants ML (+116)

Under 7.5 runs (-106)

Why The Brewers Could Cover The Spread

The Brewers relied on a fantastic pitcher to carry them to victory on Monday, and the same could happen in this matchup. Starter Brandon Woodruff is set to take the mound for the second game of this series.

Woodruff has had an incredible season, often going overlooked because of the other stars in the Milwaukee rotation. The righty owns a 2.38 ERA and a .93 WHIP on the year, two Cy Young-level statistics. Besides those numbers, Woodruff also has some statistics that go his way in this matchup. The Giants are slightly worse against right-handed pitching, earning a lower batting average and OBP against righties instead of lefties. He's also already faced San Francisco this year, posting six innings of one-run ball against them. A similar performance should be in store for this game.

Typically the Brewers offense is at a disadvantage against opposing starters, but not in this game. That's mainly because the Giants are yet to announce who is starting this game. A COVID outbreak sidelined Alex Wood, who was supposed to take the hill in this one. Instead, Milwaukee is likely to face a bullpen game, which is a much less intimidating prospect.

Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread

If San Francisco wins this game, it will be because their offense takes control. The Giants rank inside the top ten in baseball in batting average, slugging percentage, OPS, and OBP. They held those rankings before the trade deadline and their offense has only improved since then thanks to the addition of star third baseman Kris Bryant.

Helping the Giants is the fact that Woodruff is a slightly worse pitcher when on the road. His ERA rises from 2.08 at home to 2.67 anywhere else. Coincidentally, San Francisco is significantly better offensively when they play at Oracle Park. The Giants see their team batting average, OBP, OPS, and slugging percentage all take a huge leap when they defend their home turf. It's not much, but it gives some hope that San Francisco will put up some runs.

Final Brewers-Giants Prediction & Pick

The pitching situation on San Francisco's side is too questionable to pick them confidently. No one knows who's starting, and a bullpen game is rarely a good pick. Take Woodruff and the Brewers with confidence in this one.

FINAL PICK: Milwaukee Brewers ML (-120)
