He's extremely predictable? Garen is just a bag of high stats and base damages.

Good players that know their limits will either beat him (top laners with poke for example(Jayce/Vlad/Gnar), ignore him (top laners that are tanky enough (Malphite, Mundo) ) or will let him win lane and get outfarmed (top laners that he hard counters(poppy/yasuo/irelia)). He then will not be able to hard carry the game at all.

My advice is to just pick late game champions that can stand him(Malphite, Mundo). Even a decent kassadin can lane versus garen without any complication at all as Garen will not be able to touch him. Then at late game you will have an extremely mobile killing machine/ teamfight winner / unkillable chasing monster ... versus a meatbag.
