Free MLB Pick
Brewers’ starter Jimmy Nelson has been super-sharp in his last four starts holding the opposition scoreless in three of the four starts and recording a Q start in all four. That said, the Padres have been killing it on the scoreboard averaging over 7 runs per game in their last six matches. San Diego starter Andrew Cashner has been better than his earned run average would suggest as of late with a 0.95 WHIP and a good pitches per inning mark. Milwaukee’s bats were ice cold before yesterday’s five runs and we’re not sold on that being a sign of breaking out of the scoring slump. We’ll take the small road dog in this spot in what we think will be a 4-3 type game.
