San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB
by Joseph King | in MLB Prediction
An interleague matchup on Wednesday in the MLB sees the San Diego Padres host the Cleveland Guardians at Petco Park. Both teams have a lot to play for as the postseason draws ever closer with each club involved in a tight battle. The Guardians currently sit atop the AL Central division with a 65-56 record but hold only a three game lead over the second-place Twins and a four game lead over the third-place White Sox. Their opponents today have the unfortunate luck of being in the same division as the star-studded LA Dodgers who hold a comfortable lead atop the NL West. San Diego currently sit second in the division with a 68-57 record and will be looking to put some space between themselves and the Brewers, who they lead by just 1.5 games for the final Wild Card spot.

Our San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
We’re going to back the Padres to get the win in this game. Blake Snell has been progressively getting better as the season goes on and has put forward some really impressive outings in his recent starts. On the other side, Cal Quantrill has been one of the most inconsistent starters in the league, capable of pitching 11 straight shutout innings then giving up four earned runs in five innings against the league’s worst hitting team. With how well the Padres have been hitting righties over the past month and how poorly the Guardians have been hitting lefties all season, a home win should be on the cards here.

Padres win first five innings
The way these two starters have been pitching lately we have to give the edge to the Padres’ Blake Snell. Backing the first five line takes the bullpens out of the equation and puts added emphasis on the starters.
