Mariners and Padres Face Off in High-Stakes Battle to Extend Scorching Streaks
The Padres are doing better record-wise, but that is due to a nice stretch where they beat the Rockies in four straight games. Their offense, much like the Mariners’, benefited significantly from this series. In the four games against Colorado, they put up 28 runs, but the Rockies are likely going to lose over 100 games. Fernando Tatis Jr. is hitting, but they need guys like Machado and Jake Cronenworth to get going if they want to have any shot at giving the Dodgers a run for the division. Speaking of the Dodgers, the Padres send out a former Dodgers starter, Walker Buehler, to the mound. He is 0-1 for the season with a 4.97 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Buehler was my pick a few years ago to be Cy Young but injuries derailed his career a bit. He still has solid stuff when he is at his best. He was at his best against the Rockies in his last outing, going six scoreless innings and allowing just three hits. Mariners hitters have done well against Buehler in the past, going 13-for-40 against him, with Cal Raleigh feasting to the tune of five hits in six tries.
