Chapman has monster night in win
Matt Chapman went 3-for-4 with a solo homer on Tuesday in a win over the Brewers. Chapman has fit in perfectly with the Giants in his San Francisco debut this season as his latest multi-hit performance raises his OPS to a robust .776 as he’s up to 21 round-trippers and a career-high 13 stolen bases through 130 contests. The 31-year-old impending free agent has been engaged in discussions to return to San Francisco on a long-term extension, but he’ll likely wind up cashing in if he reaches the open market in a couple months as one of the premier free agents out there.
Chourio’s two-run blast not enough for Crew
Jackson Chourio crushed a two-run homer and also stole a base on Tuesday in a loss to the Giants. Chourio quite literally left his mark on American Family Field when his gargantuan 449-foot two-run blast off Giants starter Logan Webb — his 16th round-tripper of the season — took out a section of lights on the scoreboard in left-center field.
The 20-year-old rookie phenom, who also picked up his 19th stolen base of the season in this one, is on the precipice of joining the vaunted 20-20 club, thanks in large part to a second half surge where he’s batting .331 (45-for-136) with seven homers and nine thefts in 33 games since last month’s Midsummer Classic. There’s a strong possibility he winds up as a consensus first-round pick in all fantasy drafts next spring.

Giants vs. Brewers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I blew last night’s Giants-Brewers pick by taking the under. Logan Webb opposed Tobias Myers and both were in solid form. Instead, both underperformed greatly and the offenses came alive at American Family Field.
I might be chasing my tail here, now I like the over tonight. Harrison has been decent over his last five starts, compiling a 3-2 record with a 4.50 ERA. Peralta has been solid himself, posting a 3.54 ERA over his last five outings. That said, I’m also a believer in themes throughout a series and with the way the ball was flying out of the park last night, I’m willing to see if the over trend carries over tonight – especially with a small number.
