Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Padres gear up to face the Brewers on Wednesday, all eyes will be on Freddy Fermin. While he’s shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he might struggle to find his rhythm against Milwaukee’s ace, who’s been a nightmare for batters. The Brewers’ pitching staff has been efficient lately, holding opponents to a mere.220 batting average, and Fermin's own recent performances have been less than stellar, with only a handful of hits in his last five games.
With the Padres' lineup not firing on all cylinders lately, this matchup leans heavily toward the Brewers controlling the game. Fermin’s batting stats indicate he might not get the opportunities needed to surpass 1.5 hits. Given the current form of both teams, betting on Fermin to stay under this line feels like a savvy play that aligns perfectly with the momentum Milwaukee has built on the mound.
