Hunter Renfroe leads the Brewers with 38 hits and 19 RBI, while Christian Yelich and Rowdy Tellez have combined for 69 hits and 52 RBI. Corbin Burnes gets the ball, and he is 1-2 with a 2.26 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season. Burnes is 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA and 20 strikeouts in his career against the Padres.
The San Diego Padres have scored 15 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in five of their last seven games.

The Brewers are 5-1 in their last 6 Tuesday games and 5-2 in their last 7 overall. The Padres are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 4-0 in their last 4 games on grass. The over is 5-1-1 in Brewers last 7 road games. The under is 11-5 in Padres last 16 home games. The Brewers are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in San Diego and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
Corbin Burnes has been great all season, and he’s been at his best on the road, where he has a 1.80 ERA and .205 allowed batting average in 25 innings. However, Blake Snell has pitched just 3.2 innings this season, so he’s hard to trust with the limited sample size. These are two respectable pitchers, but the total is super low. It only takes somebody to run into something to get us close to the over. I’ll lean toward the over here.
