The Milwaukee Brewers won the San Diego Padres on Sunday, 1-0, winning three of the four contests in San Diego. This was after they lost two of three to the Arizona Braves early in the week, as they are now in first position in the NL Central and 6-4 on the road.
Milwaukee has conceded three or fewer runs in 6 of their last 8 matches, but gave up 10 to the Padres on Saturday and seven to the Braves on Wednesday. But they are third in team ERA (2.94) and fourth in WHIP (1.19). The Brewers bullpen has been a delight this year, posting a 2.26 ERA, the best in MLB. This is good news for Colin Rea, who was excellent on his first start of the season, allowing one run in 5.2 innings to San Diego on April 13.
The Brewers are not just a team that can pitch, but they rank number 7 in team batting average (.263) and are tied for 9th in runs scored (77). The offense averages 3.94 runs per game over their last 10 contests and hits .250 during this span.

The Seattle Mariners defeated the Colorado Rockies during the weekend, and have now won four consecutive games. The Mariners are in second position in the AL West and are 5-5 at home this season. Their four-game winning streak preceded a three-game losing skid.
Seattle’s pitching staff were fantastic in the series against the Rockies, allowing 5 total runs and 7 total runs over their last four games. This helped the Mariners to become the fifth team in ERA (3.44) and their bullpen has been good too, 9th overall with a 3.30 ERA.
Over the course of the last 10 games, the starting staff has a 3.52 ERA and right-hander, Logan Gilbert has played a key role. Gilbert is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in three starts. He has conceded a single run in two of his three starts this season.
The Mariners don’t have the same offensive strength as the Brewers, but they are still solid. They have 15 homers and scored 74 runs, but are hitting .232 with a .310 on-base percentage. Over their last 10 games, they hit .238, with a .342 on-base percentage which aided them to average 6.21 runs per game.
MatchPlug Prediction
Today’s game looks like an outstanding pitching match, and the Milwaukee Brewers may have the advantage. Colin Rea played against the Seattle Mariners once in 2016 when he was with the San Diego Padres, allowing 5 earned runs in 5.1 innings.
Many things have happened to Rea since then, as he took 4 years to get back to the big leagues and he is making his second start since 2021. The right-hander has learned a lot from past experiences, so he is expected to have a massive outing, in fact, a big season for the Brewers.
Logan Gilbert has never played the Brewers before and wants to capitalise on a 2022 season that saw him go 13-6 with a 3.20 ERA.
No one is placing either side as having a big advantage. The match will be a low-scoring one where the Brewers have the edge in bullpen strength. Experts say this could be a one-run victory for Milwaukee.
Prediction: Seattle Mariners Moneyline.
