Pretty much the same rules as always apply (-1 or not bat B9 are solid cheaper alternatives) at a ML price like this, but the Brewers easily cashed Monday in a blowout win and have a much better pitching matchup in their favor Tuesday with lefty Kyle Harrison opposed by Trevor McDonald. Harrison (6-1, 1.57 ERA) was once a touted SF prospect who was traded to Boston about a year ago this time and then rerouted this offseason in a Brewers steal. Harrison should be getting more talk for the NL Cy Young and surely will be fired up to face his former organization for the first time. The Giants' Trevor McDonald (2-2, 4.34) has lost back-to-back starts. SF is 11-21 away.
