Milwaukee vs San Diego Prediction: Holy Fathers to Level Score with the Brewers

The series between Milwaukee and San Diego is tied 1-1 at American Family Field. Who will take the lead with a win in game three? Let's pick a few options to bet on.

The overall score in the season series between the Brewers and the Padres after two games in Milwaukee is 3-2 in favor of the Brewers. So Craig Counsell's side only needs to win one game on home field out of the remaining two to be stronger than the Holy Fathers at the end of the season series.

In the second game at American Family Field, the Brewers lost to the Padres by a score of 0-7. Corbin Burns, the best pitcher in the National League last season, pitched five innings over 3.2 innings.

Aaron Ashby will pitch for Milwaukee in the third game of the series, 1-3 and with a 2.70 ERA in 11 games, only five of which the pitcher has started in the starting lineup.

Bob Melvin's team was close to defeating Milwaukee in the first game of the series, but after leading 4:1, they conceded four runs in the ninth inning. In the second game, the Padres followed that by defeating their opponent. San Diego leader Manny Machado went 7:0 with 3 RBI; left fielder Jurickson Profar had 2 RBI; Luke Voit and Ha-seong Kim had 1 RBI. Pitcher Joe Musgrove pitched eight complete innings of zero work.

In the third game of the series, Mackenzie Gore will pitch for San Diego, going 3:1 with a 1.71 ERA in seven games.

San Diego and Milwaukee are roughly equal teams, so it makes sense that the season series would be even at the end of six games. Then the outcome of the confrontation will be decided in the final seventh game. So, hoping for justice, we'll bet on the Padres here. On top of that, San Diego had won 15 of their 21 games this season when they were considered the underdog by the bookmakers. Prediction - San Diego wins.
