Brewers vs. Giants Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 07/28/2018
Two teams trending in opposite directions meet Saturday as the San Francisco Giants continue their four-game series against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, who bolstered their roster this week with two key acquisitions. Milwaukee has gone 5-3 since the All-Star break while San Francisco has dropped three in a row and five of its last six to fall one game under .500.
Ryan Braun drove in two runs and newly acquired reliever Joakim Soria made a successful debut in Friday's 3-1 victory as the Brewers moved within 1 1/2 games of the first-place Chicago Cubs in the National League Central. After the game, Milwaukee obtained power-hitting veteran Mike Moustakas from Kansas City and will start him regularly at third base while Travis Shaw moves to second. San Francisco was held to six hits in Friday's loss and failed to execute in the eighth inning, when Buster Posey grounded out with the bases loaded and two outs. Posey has recorded just two extra-base hits in his last 18 contests for the Giants, who are averaging 3.6 runs per contest this month and sit five games out of the second NL wild-card spot.
TV: 9:05 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacin (9-3, 3.58 ERA) vs. Giants RH Johnny Cueto (3-1, 2.76)
Chacin won his third straight decision on Monday, allowing one run and two hits with a season-high nine strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings against Washington. "His slider has been outstanding," Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell told reporters. "It's different speeds, different shapes, different locations, and it's a really good pitch to start with." The 30-year-old Venezuelan is 8-7 with a 3.22 ERA in 21 career starts (20 games) against San Francisco, including a 4-1 mark and 2.02 ERA in eight outings at AT&T Park.
Cueto pitched seven innings against Oakland on Sunday and did not factor in the decision after giving up four runs and six hits. The two-time All-Star has made three starts since returning from an elbow injury that landed him on the disabled list, yielding seven homers and 12 earned runs in 17 frames. Christian Yelich is 5-for-15 with a home run against Cueto, who owns an 11-3 record and 2.74 ERA in 21 career starts versus Milwaukee.
WALK-OFFS
1. Yelich is 24-for-45 with three homers and 12 RBIs during his 11-game hitting streak.
2. San Francisco's 11 home runs this month are the fewest in the majors.
3. The Brewers traded OF Brett Phillips and RHP Jorge Lopez to Kansas City for Moustakas.
PREDICTION: Brewers 7, Giants 4

Mariners vs. Angels Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 07/28/2018
The Los Angeles Angels avoided a deflating loss in the opener and look to extend their winning streak to four games when they host the American League West-rival Seattle Mariners on Saturday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Los Angeles watched an early three-run lead disappear on Friday before Kole Calhoun led off the 10th inning with his 12th home run of the season, giving the team a 4-3 triumph.
Calhoun also opened the scoring with a two-run double as he registered his third consecutive two-hit performance, going 6-for-14 with two homers and five RBIs in that span. Angels slugger Albert Pujols singled in the second inning on Friday for his 3,061st career hit, moving him past Craig Biggio for 24th place on the all-time list. Dee Gordon collected three of the nine hits recorded by the Mariners, who fell to 3-4 against the Angels this month. Gordon has hit safely in six of his last seven games and 16 of 19 contests overall in July.
TV: 9:07 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), FS West (Los Angeles)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (8-8, 5.14 ERA) vs. Angels RH Jaime Barria (5-7, 3.80)
Hernandez has yielded three earned runs in each of his last four starts, winning the first two and losing the next two - including an outing against the Chicago White Sox last Saturday in which he gave up four runs overall in five innings. The 32-year-old Venezuelan has worked five frames or fewer in seven of his last 12 turns, including each of the last three. Hernandez fell to 16-17 with a 3.43 ERA in 52 career starts against the Angels after surrendering five runs on seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings on May 6.
Barria has gone 0-6 in seven starts since recording his last victory, a triumph over Texas on June 1 in which he scattered four hits over six scoreless innings. The 22-year-old Panamanian rookie worked five frames in a loss to the Chicago White Sox on Monday, when he yielded four runs on four hits and three walks. Barria has made three of his last seven starts against Seattle, losing all three despite allowing three runs or fewer in each outing.
WALK-OFFS
1. Mariners LHP James Paxton (back) threw a bullpen session before the series opener and is expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list and start against Houston on Monday.
2. Los Angeles purchased the contract of Eric Young Jr. from Triple-A Salt Lake and optioned fellow OF Jabari Blash to the Bees.
3. Seattle acquired Sam Tuivailala from St. Louis for fellow RHP Seth Elledge, a Class A hurler.
PREDICTION: Mariners 7, Angels 4
