San Diego vs Milwaukee Stats

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres are currently trailing the Dodgers by three games in the NL West and are looking to close the gap. Despite splitting their first two games with LA, they have one more chance on Sunday Night Baseball to secure a victory. The Padres, who have a losing record at 8-9, are still second in the division. Their star player, Fernando Tatis Jr., has been performing well, leading the team in hits, RBIs, and home runs. The team's offense has been strong, averaging 5.29 runs per game, but their defense has struggled, allowing an average of 5.12 runs per game. Thirty-one year old right hander Joe Musgrove will be starting for San Diego, with a 1-2 record and a 6.87 ERA. Despite some challenges, the Padres are looking to bounce back and improve their standing in the NL West.

Milwaukee Brewers Analysis

The Milwaukee Brewers are heading into their Sunday matchup with the Orioles on a four game win streak, aiming to sweep. They won the first two games against Baltimore and have a one game lead over the Pirates in the NL Central. In their last game against the Reds, they scored 11 runs in both games and Jake Bauers had a home run and four RBIs in the 11-5 win. Christian Yelich leads the team with five home runs but may miss this game due to injury. William Contreras leads the team with 15 hits and a .365 batting average. Shortstop Willy Adames has three homers and nine RBIs with a .296 batting average. Rhys Hoskins has three home runs and is batting .256. Wade Miley, a lefty pitcher, is making his second start of the year. Milwaukee has a power ranking of 5, ranks #1 for offense, and #9 for defense. They have an overall record of 10-3. The San Diego Padres have won their last three matchups against the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers Favored to Dominate San Diego Padres in Upcoming Game

The Milwaukee Brewers have been performing well both offensively and defensively, positioning them for success in their upcoming game against the San Diego Padres. The Padres will be sending out Joe Musgrove, who has struggled with consistency this season, allowing four or more earned runs in three out of four starts. With Musgrove's recent pitching woes, the Padres may face difficulties against the Brewers, who are currently ranked third in the league in home runs and second in batting average. Although Christian Yelich may be sidelined due to injury, Milwaukee boasts a strong lineup with multiple players who have already hit three or more home runs this season. Additionally, Wade Miley, who is set to start for the Brewers, had an impressive 2020 season and delivered a solid performance in his only start this year. Given their recent success, it is likely that the Brewers will secure a victory in the first game of the series against the Padres. I recommend betting on the Brewers to win.
