The Padres are in a great spot to tie the series as Michael King takes the mound following his brilliant Wild Card performance. While the Brewers have been fantastic at home all year, they are relying on a young starter making his first career playoff appearance. The momentum from King’s dominant recent outing gives San Diego the edge they need in this crucial spot.
Logan Henderson had an outstanding regular season for Milwaukee, pitching to a 2.47 ERA. However, the playoffs are a different environment entirely, and facing a desperate San Diego lineup will be the biggest test of his career.
Michael King, on the other hand, just threw seven shutout innings while allowing only one hit. His ability to stifle opposing offenses is exactly what the Padres need to bounce back from their opening loss and take control.
