Data Driven MLB play for Wednesday: San Diego Padres

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human biases, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Padres as a home favorite against Milwaukee Wednesday night. Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (4-1, 3.01 ERA) is coming off seven scoreless innings of a 2-0 win over Philadelphia. The Friars have won each of his last six starts and he is 2-0 with a 1.37 ERA home at Petco Park this year. The Brewers hand the ball to left-hander Aaron Ashby (0-3, 3.49 ERA) who has made six road starts this year. The Brewers lost four of those games.
