Brewers vs Padres Prediction
The Padres are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Brewers but have lost two of their last three visits in Milwaukee.
In this Brewers vs Padres Prediction, the Padres are coming as -113 home favorites. The Padres lived to fight another day yesterday and things will get trickier today as Walker Buehler takes the mound. He had just one earned run in his previous meeting against the Brewers this season and I don’t trust Gasser to close out a series for the Brewers on the road. The Padres have a better bullpen and have also been the best team against left-handed pitching in the last 30 days. Take the Padres in this one.
