Brewers vs Padres Prediction
Vasquez has been a bit shaky in his last couple of starts, allowing 12 hits and seven runs in his last 9.2 innings. Not ideal when going up against a Brewers team that’s quietly been one of the best in baseball over the last couple of weeks. Patrick has also been dealing this season with his 2.97 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, and he has a 2.37 ERA and .221 allowed batting average in 38 home innings. In his last 15.1 innings, Patrick has allowed 12 hits, three runs, and has 19 strikeouts. I’ll lay the reasonable price with the Brewers at home.
