Summary
Milwaukee enters tonight’s game as MLB’s best team, with rookie Logan Henderson carrying a 6-1 record, 2.70 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 50 innings.
Henderson has been especially sharp away from home, allowing only one of his seven homers on the road, while San Diego counters with Casey Mize at 4-7 with a 3.40 ERA.
Mize was shelled for eight earned runs in 3.1 innings in his Padres debut, though he held Milwaukee to one run over six innings earlier this season with Detroit.
San Diego sits five games over .500 and one game behind Philadelphia for the final wild-card spot, but its minus-10 run differential underscores the club’s uneven season.
The matchup comes with about 40 games left for most teams, as Milwaukee’s consistency and current form make the Brewers the pick despite San Diego’s home-field edge.
