This is a 9* on MILWAUKEE

There aren’t many pitchers in the game hotter than Corbin Burnes is right now. The Brewers right-hander has not dropped a decision since May 25th. The team has won his last seven starts with Burnes putting up a 2.18 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. He’s allowed one run or less in five of the seven starts. Tonight’s start will have a decided “postseason feel” as Burnes will face the Giants, the team with the best record in baseball. But Burnes has proven he can handle the Giants. It was earlier this month that he held them to one run and four hits over seven innings. Milwaukee ended up winning 2-1. They won Sunday in Minnesota 6-2. That put a stop to their longest losing streak (three games) since the All Star Break. No team has more road victories than the Brewers’ 43 this season. So they won’t be fazed heading to Oracle Park. They’ve got their best pitcher on the mound for tonight’s opener. The Giants just got through a 10-day road trip and it ended with a 9-0 loss to Atlanta on Sunday. They hit just .209 on that trip. Johnny Cueto is not going to be able to outduel Burnes tonight. Play on MILWAUKEE
