San Diego Padres vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Tigers continue to have offensive issues lately as they’ve scored three or fewer runs in five of their last eight games. Olson also hasn’t been great this season, allowing 21 hits and 10 runs in 20 innings. Hart has had his issues as well, allowing 18 hits and 12 runs in 16.2 innings, but the Padres have been so good overall that they’ve managed to win three of his four starts. I’m just not trying to step in front of the Padres, especially when getting the more favorable price. This line is strange, but I’m not asking any questions. Give me the Padres.
