The San Diego Padres (30-17) and Milwaukee Brewers (23-23) play the first of a four-game set Monday at American Family Field with a 7:40 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Blake Snell is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 1-0 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 13.4 K/9 and 5.6 BB/9 over 40 1/3 IP through 9 starts.
Snell allowed just one run, five hits and one walk with a season-high 11 strikeouts last time out against the Colorado Rockies Tuesday. It was his first quality start in nine appearances this season.
RHP Brandon Woodruff is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 2-2 with a 1.58 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 over 57 IP through 9 starts.
Woodruff hasn’t won in the past four starts, but he has recorded quality starts in each of the past eight outings. He appeared against the Padres April 19 in San Diego, allowing one run, one hit and three walks with seven strikeouts across six innings.

Money line (ML)
The BREWERS (-115) are a good play at home despite the fact they have won just six times across the past 19 games overall. The good news is that they’re 6-1 across the past seven games against the NL West, and they have beaten the Padres (-105) four straight times.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The BREWERS +1.5 (-200) will cost you two times your potential return, and that’s normally too rich for my blood. However, they’re not a bad play if you want a little insurance in what should be a pitcher’s duel.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 7 (-105) has connected in seven straight meetings between these teams while hitting in each of the past four battles in Wisconsin. But the trends aren’t the reason to play the Under. It’s because Snell finally looked like the pitcher San Diego thought they were getting, and Woodruff has been untouchable for most of the season.
