Padres vs Brewers Prediction
I understand the Padres are favored because they’re back at home where they’ve been incredible. Pivetta is also the more trustworthy arm at this stage, as he’s always had above-average stuff and May has been hittable all year, especially on the road, where he has a 5.88 ERA and a .290 allowed batting average. However, we’re getting plus money with the better team in the Brewers, who seem to have some magic fairy dust going on right now. Also, Pivetta is allowing a .304 batting average and a .400 on-base percentage against current Brewers through 69 at-bats. Give me the more favorable price with the Brewers.
