This is an 8* SPECIAL TOTAL on the OVER Brewers/Giants.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting that trend to end this evening.

Milwaukee has now seen the total go UNDER in three straight after yesterday's 3-2 series opening victory here.

San Francisco has seen the total go UNDER in two straight after yesterday's loss.

Note though that the Giants have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a home loss against an opponent in which they were held to two or fewer runs in.

Both starters have been decent. Brandon Woodruff (7-3, 4.01 ERA) gets the nod for Milwaukee, while Alex Wood (6-7, 4.43) counters for San Francisco.

This is just a case of each being in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight, as the both the numbers/trends and the overall situation all point to some offense finally between these two teams.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
