Padres vs Brewers Prediction

I’ll probably stick with the Brewers. Ross is coming off a pretty good showing in a victory versus the Reds. He went 6.1 innings in that one, posting two earned on five hits and a walk. Another quality start from Ross should set the Brewers up well on Monday.

In their Sunday matchup Milwaukee posted 12 team hits in a pretty nice offensive showing. The bad news is that the Brewers coughed up 11 hits on the other side and blew a late lead. The bullpen gave up three earned on six hits and one walk in 2.1 innings. Milwaukee obviously needs a better pitching effort on Monday, but I think they’ve got a shot.
