The Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres meet Monday in MLB action at Petco Park.

The Milwaukee Brewers look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Brewers have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Brewers are 8-1 this season when scoring four or more runs. Avisail Garcia leads the Brewers with 14 hits and 10 RBI while Omar Narvaez and Travis Shaw have combined for 26 hits and 19 RBI. Brandon Woodruff gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 2.12 ERA and 19 strikeouts this season. Woodruff is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the Padres.

The San Diego Padres need a win after losing four of their last six games. The Padres have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last nine games. The Padres are 7-2 this season when scoring four or more runs. Jake Cronenworth leads the Padres with 21 hits and four RBI while Eric Hosmer and Manny Machado have combined for 39 hits and 22 RBI. Joe Musgrove gets the ball, and he is 2-1 with a 0.47 ERA and 24 strikeouts this season. Musgrove is 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA and 28 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.

The Brewers are 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 2-6 in their last 8 during game 1 of a series. The Padres are 8-1 in their last 9 Monday games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The under is 2-0-2 in Brewers last 4 overall. The under is 7-1 in Padres last 8 home games. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

You can make a case for either of these teams, as they’re both hitting the ball well and both Woodruff and Musgrove have pitched well this season up to this point. The difference is the Padres are at home and their offense is a lot more trustworthy. I simply have more confidence in the Padres right now, and Musgrove is off to a ridiculous start, which includes a 12 strikeout to walk ratio. Give me the Padres and the cheap price.
