Milwaukee at San Diego

Milwaukee is a long way from home and has wild man Yovani Gallardo on the hill (5.24 ERA). He beat the Giants in his last start, but the team is still 1-2 his previous three starts when he was erratic and got hit hard. This Milwaukee offense is just 15th in runs scored, 20th in on-base percentage despite playing half their games in a homer-happy, small park. Now they are in spacious San Diego. The Brewers are 1-7 in their last eight road games against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, and 2-5 vs. a left-handed starter. Southpaw Clayton Richard is off two strong starts allowing 0 and 2 runs against Colorado and the Dodgers. The Padres are 12-4 in their last 16 vs. the National League Central and 11-4 in their last 15 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150. And the Padres are 6-2 in Richard's last eight home starts. Play the Padres.
