I see the Brewers taking care of business at home in a big way against the rebuilding Padres, losers of nine of their last 11 games.

Milwaukee has won 11 of its last 16 home games and gotten stronger offensively and in the bullpen at the trade deadline. The Brewers are going with their most consistent starter here, righthander Chase Anderson. He's pitching his best ball of the season with a 2.08 ERA in his last eight starts. Anderson has given up up two or fewer runs in each of his starts during this eight-game span.

San Diego is 7-20 the past 27 times going against a righty starter. The Padres also have dropped 17 of their last 25 away matchups.

Clayton Richard will be on the hill for San Diego. He has been terrible away from Petco Park with a 6.10 road ERA. Richard is coming off a July in which he was 0-3 with a 7.50 ERA in six starts. The Padres gutted their bullpen at the trade deadline and Richard has only gone at least six innings in one of his last five starts.
