San Diego is 9-2 in their last 11 games against the NL Central and 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
Pick
I’m sticking with the Brewers here. I just like Freddy Peralta and I think he’s going to end up back in all-star form this season if he stays healthy. San Diego is a solid team on paper, but I’m still not sold on Seth Lugo as a major league starter and I think that the Brewers can get to Lugo and get a win on the road here.
