Padres at Brewers 9/16/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Monday night MLB action, the San Diego Padres will travel to Miller Park to take on the Milwaukee Brewers. San Diego was swept over the weekend in Colorado and allowed 31 runs over the three games. Eric Hosmer leads the Padres with a .277 batting average and 94 runs batted in. 

Rookie right-hander Ronald Bolanos (0-1 5.73 ERA) will make his third career major league start for the Padres. Through 11 innings, Bolanos has walked six batters and surrendered two home runs. 

The Milwaukee Brewers are 11 games above .500 overall and trail St. Louis by three full games for the NL Central Division lead. On Sunday, Ryan Braun’s ninth inning grand slam put Milwaukee ahead for good during a 7-6 road victory against St. Louis. Josh Hader allowed two runs in the ninth inning, but managed to close the door on his 33rd save.

The Brewers will counter with twenty-six year old righty Zach Davies (9-7 3.77 ERA) on Monday. Milwaukee has won each of Davies’ last three starts and he has allowed four runs over his last 14 innings of work.
