Padres vs Brewers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 34-29 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL Central. They have also looked great in their own ballpark with their 18-10 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Padres have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-25 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL West and right in the division race. They haven't been a great road team this year though with their 15-15 road record. Both of these teams have been hot lately, but the Brewers have been the hotter team as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games while the Padres are only 7-3 and haven't looked nearly as good in their road games all year. The Brewers are going with Patrick in this one and this is only his 1st MLB season as a starter, but he has looked good so far. He is 3-4 with a 2.97 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He is coming off a good start in which he gave up 2 earned runs, and the team has been finding success with him now, winning their last 2 games with him starting. Vasquez is on the mound for the Padres here and he hasn't looked great lately. He is 3-4 with a 3.99 ERA and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he did give up 4 earned runs in his last start and that Padres offense hasn't been as good in their road games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game. 

Padres Brewers Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Friday, June 6, 2025 (8:10 pm ET start time) is Brewers 6 Padres 1.
