Brewers (Woodruff: 8-7, 2.38) vs. Giants (Quintana:

Milwaukee beat the Giants last night. Today it is Woodruff vs. (apparently) Jose Quintana, picked up yesterday on waivers and thrown into the fire today. Woodruff has been solid all year. He had one rough start two games ago but bounced back with 6 innings of shutout baseball. At 0-3, 8.23 ERA, Quintana has been anything but solid this year. It is a lot to ask even of a veteran to come in and start immediately.

The Giants had a bullpen start yesterday. Their relievers have not been up to their usual standard, and were ridden hard lately. Milwaukee’s bullpen has been superlative.

The critical factor is, of course, the substitution of Quintana for Wood. Take Milwaukee to win and get on board early before the lines change.
