Milwaukee Brewers vs San Diego Padres Prediction
This MLB matchup on May 13, 2026, features the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the San Diego Padres at American Family Field. Both teams are performing well this season, but the Brewers hold a slight advantage due to recent strong play, home-field, and key injuries affecting the Padres' lineup and pitching depth.
Milwaukee Brewers host San Diego Padres on Wednesday, part of the 2026 MLB season. Both teams' season records, recent form, and matchup-specific factors are detailed in the stats and prediction sections below.
ATS PREDICTION
Milwaukee Brewers Win
Predicted: 4-3
57%
The Milwaukee Brewers, playing at home, have a slight edge due to their impressive recent form, boasting a 7-3 record in their last 10 games, including a shutout victory over the Yankees. Starting pitcher Kyle Harrison for the Brewers has been effective with a 2.12 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. While San Diego's Michael King also presents a strong outing with a 2.95 ERA over 39.2 innings, the Padres have been struggling offensively and recently lost 6-0 to the Cardinals. The Padres are also dealing with several key injuries, including catcher Luis Campusano and second baseman Jake Cronenworth, which impacts their lineup depth.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (-1.5)
57%
Given the Brewers' strong recent performance and home-field advantage, they are capable of winning by more than one run. Kyle Harrison's solid pitching could limit the Padres' offense, which has been inconsistent and is missing key hitters due to injury. If the Brewers' offense, despite its own injuries, can capitalize on early opportunities, they have a good chance to cover the spread.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 8
71%
Both Michael King (2.95 ERA) for the Padres and Kyle Harrison (2.12 ERA) for the Brewers are capable starting pitchers, suggesting a lower-scoring game. The Padres' offense is currently hampered by injuries to Luis Campusano and Jake Cronenworth, which could limit their run production. Additionally, the Brewers' bullpen has demonstrated effectiveness, including a recent save from Shane Drohan.

๐ Additional Markets
First 5 Innings Winner
Milwaukee Brewers
With strong starting pitching from Kyle Harrison, the Brewers have a good chance to take an early lead and maintain it through the first five innings. The Padres' injured offense may struggle to get going early against Harrison.
Player Strikeouts (Kyle Harrison)
Over 5.5
Kyle Harrison has recorded 35 strikeouts in 29.2 innings this season, indicating a good strikeout rate. Facing a Padres lineup potentially weakened by injuries, he could easily exceed this total.
Team Total Runs (San Diego Padres)
Under 3.5
Considering Harrison's strong ERA (2.12) and the Padres' offensive struggles compounded by injuries to key players like Campusano and Cronenworth, scoring more than 3.5 runs against the Brewers' pitching staff will be a challenge.
Race to 5 Runs
Milwaukee Brewers
While a low-scoring game is expected, if either team reaches 5 runs, the Brewers are more likely to achieve it given their home advantage and more consistent recent offensive output compared to the injured Padres lineup.
Both Teams to Score
Yes
Despite strong pitching, both teams have capable offenses overall and it's rare for an MLB game to feature a shutout from both sides. A 4-3 or similar score is a reasonable expectation.

The Brewers are the home team with a strong starting pitcher in Kyle Harrison and excellent recent form, including a 6-0 shutout against the Yankees. Our model gives them a slightly higher win probability than the implied odds suggest, creating a small edge.
โ Total Runs: Under 8.0
