They’ve also clinched the top seed in the NL, while the San Diego Padres are still looking to punch their ticket to the postseason.

Milwaukee Brewers starter Freddy Peralta may be one of the most overlooked pitchers in the league as he has put together a breakout season in 2025. After posting an ERA closer to 4.00 than 3.00 in previous years, the righthander has a sparkling 2.65 ERA this season, plus 195 strikeouts in 169.2 innings.
Peralta has only been getting better as the season moves along. He had a 2.66 ERA and 9.5 K/9 in 20 starts in the first half, and is at a 2.64 ERA and 11.9 K/9 in the second half.
The right-hander has put together a mighty impressive September with 17 strikeouts in 16 innings across three starts. In fact, he’s had at least six strikeouts in all eight starts since the start of August.
The Padres don’t strike out much, but Peralta should be able to easily reach six strikeouts in San Diego.
We have a pitchers’ duel on tap in San Diego between Peralta and Pivetta. Both pitchers boast an ERA under 3.00, and neither offense has been particularly hot as of late.
The Brewers scored just five runs in their three-game set in St. Louis over the weekend, and the Padres were held to three runs in four of their last six contests.
The Under is 84-66-6 in San Diego’s games overall and 41-31-3 at home. All three meetings back in June also went well Under the total with final scores of 2-0, 4-3, and 1-0.
Pick: Under 7 (-104)
