Padres Look to Bounce Back

The Padres were favorites on Tuesday, but the pitching really struggled on Tuesday. They were up 3-0 heading into the bottom of the first, but by the end of the first inning, they were down 6-3. The Padres finished with 11 hits, and they scored four runs while the A’s scored ten runs on 13 hits. Dylan Cease went four innings, giving up nine hits and nine runs. He had four strikeouts and three walks. In the first game of this series, the Padres were able to secure the 5-4 victory. 

The Padres are averaging 4.64 runs, while their pitching is giving up 2.9 runs per game. For this team to have success, the pitching will need to be strong. Randy Vasquez will start for the Padres, and he has a record of 0-1 and an ERA of 1.69. In his last start, he went 4.2 innings, giving up two hits and three runs against the Chicago Cubs. 

A’s Offense Broke Out

The A’s offense looked good on Tuesday. They scored ten runs, which was enough for the win. JJ Bredley had a strong game, finishing with a home run and driving in three RBIs to help pace the offense. Jeffrey Springs had a strong game, going six innings and giving up seven hits and three earned runs. 

The A’s on the season is averaging 4.09 runs while their pitching is giving up 6.09 runs per game. The offense is ranked 15th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 28th. One of the bright spots for the A’s, though is the pitcher getting the start in this game. Oslvado Bido will start for the Athletics. He has a 1-0 record and an ERA of 2.70. Against the Colorado Rockies, he pitched five innings, giving up six hits and two runs. 

San Diego Padres vs Athletics Prediction

The A’s won on Tuesday, and they are going to continue with that success here, at least with the pitching. Bido is going to get the start here for Oakland he sits with an ERA of 2.70. Vasqez sits with an ERA of 1.69, and even though he wasn’t as dominant in his last start, he’s going to really step up in a major way again here. Look for the Padres and As to both take plenty of bad at-bats, and this game is going to be a pitcher’s duel. Back the under to cash here. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
