The San Diego Padres, who achieved three consecutive victories with an explosive lineup, will have Randy Vasquez (1 win, 4 losses, 5.70 ERA) challenge for his second win of the season. On the 18th, Vasquez proved to be a pitcher with a significant gap between his home and away performances by delivering a disappointing 6 runs in 4.1 innings during an away game against Philadelphia. However, his pitching in the last two home games was decent, and the team expects him to do well in night games. It's promising that San Diego's lineup, which scored nine runs including two home runs against Milwaukee's pitching the previous day, has shown a clear increase in hitting when playing at home. Jake Cronenworth, with five hits including a home run, is handling the role of the fourth batter well. The bullpen, which endured 4.1 innings and allowed only one run, had Kolek's blown save as the only downside.
The Milwaukee Brewers, who experienced a reversal defeat due to bullpen instability, will have Carlos Rodriguez (2 losses, 6.48 ERA) attempt for his first career win again. On the 18th, Rodriguez showed a continuing issue of not being able to withstand pressure with runners on base, resulting in a disappointing 5 runs in 4.2 innings against the Angels. The concerning angle of allowed hits suggests there might be a pitching design issue. The previous day, though ultimately losing, Milwaukee's lineup scored five runs against Cease and Kolek, showing the essence of speed baseball. The disappointing part might be the lack of a significant hit. The bullpen, which collapsed for 3 runs in 2.2 innings, is severely hurt by Harvey Milner's struggle to retire left-handed batters.
Although Cease collapsed, San Diego won. Considering recent hitting patterns, they are likely to continue performing well against Rodriguez. However, with Vasquez's pitching in mind, Milwaukee's lineup might also continue its form in this game, but Vasquez performs better in home games compared to away games, and San Diego has displayed superior late-game performance in this series. The momentum is in favor of the San Diego Padres.
Predicted Score 7:6 San Diego Victory
