San Diego Padres vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction: The Brewers won't have time to acclimatise

San Diego had an excellent road series with San Francisco, winning all three games against their division rival. Now the Padres will face Milwaukee, another top team in the National League. Here are a few bets on the first game of this clash.

San Diego Padres

The series in San Francisco against the Giants proved the superiority of Bob Melvin's team once again. The Padres left the Giants with no chance of success - 8:7, 2:1, 10:1. They now have 27-14 overall. San Diego is behind only the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League table by just one win.

It's worth noting that the Padres are sure to add more as the season progresses - when the injured Fernando Tatis returns to the field. For now, San Diego's central star is expectedly Manny Machado, who has eight home runs and 27 RBI.

Nick Martinez will pitch for San Diego in game one against Milwaukee, 2-2, with a 3.89 ERA.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers, like the Padres, are having a great first quarter. The team is 26-15, and in first place in the National League Central Division, three wins away from St. Louis, the Brewers' main division rival. Milwaukee is fourth in the conference standings. The Padres, Dodgers, and New York Mets are higher.

Milwaukee has looked great in the first quarter of the season, averaging 4.78 runs per game. Most notably, Rudy Telles and Hunter Renfro have nine home runs. The same goes for Willy Adames, who is still out due to injury.

Adrian Hauser will pitch for Milwaukee in the upcoming game, 3-4, with a 3.22 ERA.

Expert Betting Tips

The Brewers will be playing their first away game, so it's dangerous to bet on them as the team might not have time to acclimatize after a long flight. San Diego had a great series against San Francisco not too far from home. So, the Padres, both physically and mentally, should be better prepared for the game. The prediction is that San Diego will win again.
