AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) San Diego vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: 105.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The Padres are coming into this game with a 9-9 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming off of a series win against the Dodgers, but now they are in a bit of a bad spot here as they travel East for this game against a hot Brewers team. The Brewers are 10-4 this season and they have also been playing very well in their recent games. They are coming off of a 6-4 loss to the Orioles in their last game but they will be hungry to bounce back here as they still won that series against the Orioles and had won their last 4 straight games prior to that loss. Their pitching has been solid as they have allowed 2 runs or less in 2 of their last 4 games, averaging under 4 runs allowed per game in their last 4 games, and their offense has been on fire as well as they have scored at least 7 runs in 5 of their last 6 games. Joe Musgrove is starting for the Padres here and he is 1-2 with a 6.87 ERA this season. He was not great in Spring Training this year as he allowed 9 earned runs in just 6 innings pitched, and he has continued that poor form into the regular season now. He has made 4 starts this season and has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 3 of them, allowing 4 runs in 4 innings against the Cubs in his last start. He has not been pitching well against the potent offenses he has seen this season and he is about to face another here as the Brewers offense has been scoring a lot of runs recently. Joe Ross is starting for the Brewers here and he is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA this season. He was pitching much better in Spring Training than Musgrove was and Ross has continued that into the regular season as he has allowed just 2 earned runs or less in each of his 2 starts this season. The Brewers have the better pitching matchup right now and their offense has been scoring a lot of runs recently. The Brewers will be able to take advantage of the Padres in this bad travel spot and they will win this game bouncing back. Take the Brewers to win this game.
