Can Kolek’s Pitching Mastery Silence the Brewers’ Fearsome Offense?
Ever wonder if baseball games in early June carry that edge-of-your-seat thrill, or are we just stressing out over nothing? Well, tonight’s Padres vs. Brewers matchup might just answer that question — or at least come darn close. I went 1-1 yesterday, nothing spectacular but not a disaster either, and while I tend to steer clear of games featuring the Rockies and White Sox due to limited value, today the lineup feels different. The Padres, finally showing some gusto after a couple of rocky seasons despite all that star power, send out Stephen Kolek—a guy who quietly gets the job done, especially on the road. Across the diamond, the Brewers, who not long ago seemed like longshots for the division, have turned heads with a sizzling hot streak and will rely on the seasoned arm of Jose Quintana, who’s had his ups and downs but knows how to keep hitters honest. If you ask me, fading Quintana at home before the bookmakers catch on might just be the savvy move. So, will this game be a nailbiter or a straightforward grind? Let’s find out — and maybe snag a little value along the way. LEARN MOREPadres vs. Brewers, 7:35 ET
