Free MLB Playoff Pick
Brewers/Padres Over 7.5 runs (loss)
Rotation #935-936 / 9:30 PM EST
May/Pivetta (Listed Pitchers)

The Padres have been unlucky in the first two games of the series, but tonight is their best chance to get back in it against Dustin May. May has struggled down the stretch and has a 7.88 ERA in his last three road starts. He has also been prone to giving up home runs this past month, and the warm October weather in San Diego could help the ball carry farther tonight. Nick Pivetta has looked sharp in his limited innings this year, but he hasn’t pitched much, so it will be hard to trust him in his spot. The Padres had the best slugging percentage in baseball in September and have the best on-base percentage in the MLB Playoffs. Both teams should do just enough to make this a higher-scoring game. Take the Over.
