San Diego Padres vs Texas Rangers Prediction
We have two capable lineups, and we’ve seen high-scoring games in this series already. Giolito has a 4.56 ERA and 1.79 WHIP on the season, while Eovaldi has a 4.23 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season. On the road through 16.2 innings, Giolito has a 6.48 ERA and a .292 batting average allowed. Eovaldi has allowed 21 hits and 11 runs in his last 18.2 innings, and he hasn’t pitched in a week due to a knee injury. I expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
