San Francisco Giants Preview

The reigning NL West champions are off to a good start this year. At the time of writing, the Giants have a 10-5 record. They've won all but one of their season series so far, with the loss coming into the hands of the New York Mets. This is thanks to the absurd bullpen that San Francisco boasts. Their pen is pitching a 1.78 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP only giving up 12 earned runs while striking out 50.

Key Player - Carlos Rodon

Carlos Rodon leads the league in strikeouts

Carlos Rodon is off to a blazing start to the season. In his three starts so far, he has won two games with a 1.06 ERA and 0.82 WHIP while only issuing eight hits and fanning out 29 batters.

"Current Major League strikeout leaders: Carlos Rodon (29), Kyle Wright (26), Shohei Ohtani (26), Shane McClanahan (24), Max Scherzer (23)" - @ Kevin McAlpin

It would be a treat for the fans to see him duel with the defending NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes and see who comes out on top.

Milwaukee Brewers Preview

The National League Central champions are off to a so-so start to the season. They have a 9-6 record at the time of writing, but five of those wins came via projected inferior teams such as the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Baltimore Orioles.

The only powerhouse team that they've faced so far are the St. Louis Cardinals, and they dropped two games against them in a three-game series. The Brewers need to find a way to turn it around as only their pitching crew is carrying them at this point because the batting order has so far been lackluster.

Key Player - Corbin Burnes

Corbin Burnes needs to replicate his 2021 form to help the Brewers

Ever since he was lit up by the Chicago Cubs on Opening Day for three earned runs, Corbin Burnes has turned it around. He pitched with a 1.29 ERA and striking out 18 batters in 14 innings of work in his succeeding two starts.

"Corbin Burnes, Wicked 82mph Curveball. 🤢" - @ Rob Friedman

Burnes will look to continue the momentum against an average San Francisco Giants battery lineup.

Milwaukee Brewers Predicted Lineup

Starting Pitcher - Corbin Burnes

1. Andrew McCutchen, DH
2. Willy Adames, SS
3. Christian Yelich, LF
4. Hunter Renfroe, RF
5. Keston Hiura, 1B
6. Tyrone Taylor, CF
7. Kolten Wong, 2B
8. Mike Brosseau, 3B
9. Victor Caratini, C
