The Giants are favourites to win the National League West, according to FanGraphs, even if most believe the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers are a better baseball team.
The Giants positioned themselves earlier this month to host a potential tiebreaker with the Dodgers if it comes down to it.
This is an amazing story, considering the Giants were expected to be mediocre this season. They have been good to excellent in nearly every way, from their pitching, to hitting and fielding.
As if the Brewers pitching was not already impressive enough, they added a combined no-hitter between Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader over the weekend.
