San Diego Padres vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction: Expect a narrow win for Padres

Sunday's MLB game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Diego Padres takes place at Petco Park. This will wrap up a weekend series of four games. The Brewers won the first two games, but the Padres managed a seven-run victory on Saturday.

On Friday, the San Diego team was behind by a score of 5-0 after the first two innings of the game and was unable to come back from their deficit. During their triumph on Saturday, the Padres collected 12 hits as a team and also allowed 12 hits to their opponents. Seth Lugo, the starting pitcher, was responsible for 3.2 innings, three earned runs, eight hits, and one walk. On Sunday, Yu Darvish will take the mound for the Padres as the team's opening pitcher. Darvish is 0-1 on the season with a 4.76 ERA and eight strikeouts in 11.1 innings pitched over his two starts. After 244 career starts, Darvish has compiled a record of 95 wins and 76 losses while posting a 3.51 earned run average.

In the first game of this series on Thursday, Milwaukee narrowly prevailed 4-3, then dominated 11-2 on Friday. In game three, the Brewers lost 10-3 because they were unable to score after the fourth inning. Starting pitcher Freddy Peralta pitched 5.0 innings, giving up five earned runs on nine hits and one walk. Wade Miley will start for the Brewers on Sunday. Miley has made two starts thus far, going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA. Miley has played in 294 games (287 starts), going 100-95 with a 4.12 ERA.

Even though both teams could benefit from a strong performance in this, we are going to take a shot with Milwaukee in this contest. The Brewers' starting pitchers, Jose Peralta, Hoby Milner, and Javy Guerra, each turned in less than stellar performances. In spite of the fact that the Brewers will need to improve their defensive play and generate some offense in order to win game three, we believe that they have a respectable opportunity to go back into the win column.
