MLB Odds: Brewers-Padres prediction, odds and pick

The San Diego Padres host the Milwaukee Brewers for the third game of a 3-game series. The Brewers won the first game yesterday thanks to a home run from Tyrone Taylor. San Francisco is 1.5 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the NL West.

Brewers beat Padres last night to even the series. Both teams have good starting pitchers. Aaron Ashby is starting for the Brewers. He is a left-hander. The Padres have a good lineup. Hunter Renfroe was placed on the injured list. Josh Hader is away on bereavement. The Brewers need to cover the spread. They need not let the Friars get out to an early lead.

The Padres are coming off a sweep to the San Francisco Giants. Yu Darvish is starting for the Friars today. This will be his first home start since May 6. The Padres knocked in five runs off eight hits in three innings against the Giants last time they faced a left-handed pitcher. Brewers are (20-23) against spread this season while theFriars are 24-19.

Darvish is coming off a big game and he should be able to pitch well for the Padres. The game should go to the under at 7.5 runs.

The final MLB prediction and pick is Padres -1.5 (+158) and under 7. 5 (-128).
