Unstoppable Forces Collide: Can Anyone Halt the Angels and Padres’ Blazing Offensive Streak?
I have to imagine after a game like yesterday, the Padres have one of two thoughts in their minds. They either can’t believe that just happened and they are annoyed which means they don’t really want to play today. Or, they are super competitive today and say they can’t believe that just happened and want to get to the park and get the game going to avenge the loss. With 162 games, the reality is it is probably somewhere in the middle. The Padres just put up 21 runs on the Rockies in one game and then lost the next one. They’ve now allowed nine runs in three of the past four games. Looking to stop a bit of that bleeding is Dylan Cease, but he has been anything but his Cy Young finalist form this season. For the year, Cease is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA, and a 1.41 WHIP. I gave Soriano a bit of a pass so I should give Cease some too as he has allowed 22 earned runs this year with nine coming in four innings and the other 13 coming over 36.1 innings. He has been very good against Angels hitters in the past, holding them to just a .172 average in 58 at-bats.Â
