“Unstoppable Force: How Cease Became the Iron Wall Against Athletics’ Hitting Lineup”
The Padres are having an amazing start to the season with a 9-2 record – in fact, their only two losses were against the aforementioned Cubs team. The Padres are racking up the hits to this point in the year and collectively they are batting .282. I will say for as successful as they’ve been, the runs are fairly low at just 51 runs per game. The two losses that they’ve had this season were both games where they only scored one run. The pitching staff has been very impressive as well. They are throwing to a 2.88 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Opponents are only hitting .190 against them as well. They send out Dylan Cease to the mound today. Cease has shown flashes of greatness for the Padres, but he has had some blips as well. In his two games this season, Cease has thrown 10.2 innings and allowed a total of four earned runs. He has struck out seven hitters in both games. Against Athletics hitters, he been strong with just nine hits allowed in 45 at-bats. 18 of those at-bats ended in a strikeout.ÂÂ
