San Diego: Chris Paddack (9-7 3.38 ERA)<br />
Milwaukee: Brandon Woodruff (11-3 3.75 ERA) The Padres have won two of Paddack's last three starts where he has been lights out, and he has not given up any earned runs in his previous two starts. In his last start, he tossed six scoreless innings and only allowed three hits in a 4-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. This start is his first of the season against the Brewers and in his last two road starts he has only given up one earned run in 12 1/3 innings. However, the Padres are only 1-4 in Paddack's last five road starts and 1-5 in his previous six road starts against a team with a winning record. Woodruff is making his first start since July 21st after missing several weeks with an oblique injury. The Brewers have won his last two starts, but his last one only lasted three innings after giving up four earned runs exiting the game early with the injury. He faced the Padres in San Diego on June 18th and gave up four earned runs on seven hits in six innings in a 4-1 Milwaukee loss. Woodruff will be on a limited pitch count in this game after coming off the DL with fellow starter Gio Gonzalez slated to come in early. This season Woodruff is 9-0 with an ERA of 3.24 at home.

With their hot streak as of late, the Brewers have gotten back in the playoff race, as they are three games out of first place in the NL Central and one game out of the 2nd NL Wild Card.
