Padres Preview: A Feast of Hits (and Nerves)
The Padres are 26-15 at home and seem to treat Petco Park like it’s sacred ground… until their bullpen enters. San Diego fans got a treat on Saturday as Luis Arraez went full cheat code with four hits like he was on beginner mode in MLB The Show.
Manny Machado is back doing Manny things, .292 average, 14 bombs, and enough doubles to make pitchers consider early retirement. And if the Padres out-hit their opponent? They’re 33-10. If not? They might as well start the postgame interview early.
Oh, and David Morgan (0-1, 2.08 ERA) is starting. If you just said “Who?” — exactly. He’s pitched well, but also carries the energy of a man who’s just happy to be here. Good luck, buddy.
Rangers Breakdown: Cowboys in Crisis (on the Road)
Texas is 18-26 away from home, which is what happens when your bats check into the hotel but don’t show up to the stadium.
Jack Leiter (4-5, 4.29 ERA) takes the mound and while he’s been decent, he’s been known to serve up a souvenir or two to opposing hitters. He faces a Padres lineup that either scores in buckets or barely scrapes together a run like they’re rationing them.
The Rangers do have some heat: Wyatt Langford has been slugging, and Corey Seager has been smashing the ball like it owes him money, four homers in his last 10 games.
Final Prediction:
San Diego loves drama, and this game might be no different. Expect some early offense, questionable bullpen management, and at least one “why did he swing at that” moment.
Take the Padres moneyline and consider pacing nervously during the 8th inning.
Final Score Prediction: Padres 5, Rangers 4
Bets Bet: San Diego (-122)
Total: Over 8.5 (-115)
