San Diego Padres at Miami Marlins: 8/16/22 MLB Picks and Prediction

Miami Marlins right-hander, Edward Cabrera will be the starter for this one. He has a 2.05 ERA with 29 strikes and a 1.03 whip.

The San Diego Padres are coming off of a 3 run loss against the Miami Marlins in their last game. The series is at 1-0 in favor of the Miami Marlins going into game 2.

Joe Musgrove got the start for the San Diego Padres. He has a 2.98 ERA, with 129 strikes and a 1.03 whip. He was lifted after six innings. The right-hander allowed three runs, eight hits, struck out five and hit a batter in the loss. 

San Diego Padres left-hander, Sean Manaea will be the starter for this one. He has a 4.76 ERA with 122 strikes and a 1.33 whip.

The Padres are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and are 9-2 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Padres are also 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The Marlins are 1-6 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter and are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. The Marlins are also 0-5 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. It’s unlikely that Miami wins two in a row so I’ll back the Padres here.
