Brewers vs Giants Key Matchups and Game Preview
Brewers Pitching Advantage
Logan Henderson starts for Milwaukee with a 4-1 record, 3.05 ERA and excellent 0.94 WHIP through 38.1 innings this season. Henderson has allowed only 29 hits and seven walks while recording 47 strikeouts, although five home runs surrendered in limited work show that San Francisco could create damage if it elevates the ball.
Giants Rotation Concerns
Landen Roupp counters for San Francisco with a 7-8 record, 3.93 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 110 innings. Roupp has collected 113 strikeouts and allowed only eight homers, but his 45 walks could become an issue against a Milwaukee lineup that owns a strong .336 on-base percentage.
