The Brewers have been hot lately, the Padres not so much. Way back in April the Brewers hit probable starter for the Padres Wacha very hard. Since the Wacha has been lights out. He was off for most of July and half of August but is again on fire. Since his return on August 15th, he is 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA. Probable starter for the Brewers, Houser, has been up and down the last while with an ERA of 4.70 and a WHIP of 1.17 in his last 3.

Both bullpens have solid help available with a slight edge to the Brewers. Both teams have been mediocre at the plate over the last 15 days so it should come down to the pitchers. With Wacha doing his thing and the rest being equal the Padres will come out on top.
