The Milwaukee Brewers surprised everyone after the losses of CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets, to be holding down 1st place in the NL Central for awhile. They have reverted back to what many thought they'd be - a pretender. They have been just 18-27 since mid June, and with four of those 18 wins coming by a single run they are just 14-31 to a would be -1.5 runline. Braden Looper has not aided the cause with an ERA on the season hovering around five. The Padres will feature one of their newest members with Clayton Richard on the mound who is over from the White Sox. Richard has worked to a 1.98 ERA over his last four starts, good enough to hold the Padres at least close here, so I'll back San Diego on the runline.
