San Diego Padres vs. Milwaukee Brewers - Current Form

The Padres won against the Pirates last Sunday with 2-1, only to lose to the Cardinals last Wednesday. Scoring the modest four runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday's game was San Diego's best performance in their last six games. The series opener with the St. Louis Cardinals, was their worst: they allowed a total of six runs.

The first-place Brewers have now split back-to-back series against the Cardinals and the Cubs. Milwaukee’s defense was impenetrable, allowing only one run on Monday in the two of four contests against the Cubs. Game three with the St. Louis Cardinals, though, took a different turn and it was Milwaukee's worst in the last eight. They produced a total of two runs while allowing eight.
