Pivetta 2.86 ERA opposite May's 7.84 ERA skid

The pitching matchup flips in San Diego's favor: Nick Pivetta carries a 2.86 ERA and 2.21 FIP on five days of rest, while Dustin May brings a 4.67 ERA and has failed to complete five innings in six of his last seven starts (7.84 ERA, 1.74 WHIP in that span). Milwaukee leads 2-0 after a 4-3 walk-off off Mason Miller, but both games were one-run decisions and the Padres went 51-30 at Petco Park. Facing elimination with their best available arm against Milwaukee's weakest rotation slot is the spot to back San Diego.
