Why The Brewers Could Cover The Spread
Rowdy Tellez is hot this series. He has six hits in three games with three home runs and seven RBI. The Brewers need to find a way to get runners in scoring position when he is at the plate. When a hitter is feeling it, he can be the most dangerous hitter in baseball. Right now, that is Tellez.
Wade Miley has been good this season for Milwaukee. He will not strike a lot of people out, but he will miss barrels. He has thrown 11 innings this season while allowing just 3 runs. The Padres as a team are hitting .236, so they struggle to hit the ball hard. If Wade Miley has his best stuff and continues to induce weak contact, the Brewers should finish with a series win.
Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread
The Padres will work the count at the plate. They are fifth in the MLB in walks. In the game they won this series, San Diego walked six times. In the two losses, they walked only four times combined. When the Padres are patient at the plate and work their walks, they are good. Milwaukee used four bullpen pitchers in the game Saturday night, so they are going to need Miley to go deep into this game. if San Diego can work the counts, draw walks and force Miley out of this game, they will be in good position to win and cover the spread.
Final Brewers-Padres Prediction & Pick
Milwaukee has played well to begin the season and their bats are hot. In the loss, the Brewers had 12 hits, they just did not score. The Brewers bats should stay hot and keep this game close, or possibly win.
Final Brewers-Padres Prediction & Pick: Brewers +1.5 (-150), Over 8 (-110)
