The Brewers have won Logan Henderson's last eight starts. He carries a 0.90 WHIP into Monday's matchup at San Diego. The Padres are hot, but starter Casey Mize might not be benefitting from a change of scenery. The former Tiger got lit up in his first start with the Padres, giving up eight earned runs in 3.1 innings to Arizona.
DraftKings. Logan Henderson is under this line in 6/9 full starts this season. While heтАЩs acquitted himself quite well when healthy with a 2.70 ERA (2.62 xERA), the oft-injured righty is only averaging 80 pitches per full start. With the Brewers looking to protect their burgeoning ace, I donтАЩt see them pushing HendersonтАЩs pitch count down the stretch. And the rookie will face the Padres who continue their red-hot second half with an .851 OPS and 137 wRC+ against righties, as well as the sixth lowest team chase rate.
Over the San Diego Padres last five series they are 4-0-1. At home they are also 9 and 2 over their last eleven games. This should be a spot where Casey Mize can settle in after a rough debut for the Padres against the Diamondbacks. One of his four wins on the season came against the Brewers in April, a game he gave up just three hits. Back the home underdog Padres.
