Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres Prediction

I’m on the Padres here. Both of these teams are struggling but the difference for me is the fact that I think that Michael King is still the best starter the Padres have, while Brady Singer has had issues on the road all season long and I don’t expect those to suddenly go away here. I think King has a bounce back start as the Reds’ offense is still sputtering and I think the Padres get it done here.
