San Francisco Giants (67-67) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (76-56)
The Giants record of more or less equally winning and losing matches at .500 combines average hitting with stellar pitching to remain in the thick of things. With a relatively low team batting average of 242, and 573 runs on the board, they complicate the processes to the more potent offenses in the league. Still, it cannot be emphasized enough how effective they are in important games, such as the ones with the division’s teams, like the Brewers. In addition, today’s significant game between these two, in particular, Padres and Cardinals faceoff, should arouse interest of how today’s results would change the intra-divisional landscape.
On the other hand, the Brewers have an even better offense this season, with a team batting average of 253 and a total of 630 runs. Their batting order is not only deep but it is filled with power hitters, as demonstrated by the impressive team slugging of 404, which has seen them perform quite well in their division. Also, fans following the Marlins-Rockies game might find it exciting how elite teams utilize their relief pitchers and organize the defense.
Hayden Birdsong (3-3, 4.57 ERA) vs. Aaron Civale (4-8, 4.84 ERA)
Hayden Birdsong, the Giants’ right-handed pitcher, enters this game with high hopes and high concerns. In 45.1 innings pitched in the season, Birdsong has a 4.57 ERA and has K’d the batter 54 times, but that has not been the only reason for the K’s. Overall, he went into a total of 26 walks, which might be a huge issue in this game as the Brewers’ batters will be seeking to find a weakness in the pitcher.
The Brewers’ pitcher, Aaron Civale, likewise has a partial success story, bearing in mind all his issues. Out of the three, he has the worst 4.84 ERA for the 128.1 innings pitched, which shows definite improvement potential, although, with 120 strikeouts, is hinting at grill-burning potential. His weapon will be how he attacks the Giants’ hitters early in the inning and avoids giving up the long ball to them ? already given up 24 home runs this season.
