Prediction:
Milwaukee continues to lead the NL Wild Card race and now has a home series against a struggling Padres squad. Although the Padres did get two wins in their four-game series at the Cubs, I wouldn’t expect them to do the same in this series. Go with the heavy favorites and let’s make it a run line bet for the heck of it as Milwaukee should be able to touch up Richard.
