Key Factors to Consider
- The Giants lead with a 13-6 record and show strong pitching and batting stats, including an OPS leader in Jung Ho Lee. The Brewers come in at 10-9 with 4.8 runs per game, 21 home runs, and a team OBP of .307.

- No significant injury reports have been noted for either team affecting key players or starters in this matchup.
- Oracle Park is known for its pitcher-friendly environment, which may suppress scoring compared to league averages. Weather conditions are typical for San Francisco in April and are not expected to impact gameplay significantly.
