St. Louis Cardinals - San Diego Padres Key Points

  1. Manny Machado’s RBI tally of 78 ranks second only to Jurickson Profar’s team-high 80 RBIs
  2. Manny Machado has 2 homes and 4 RBIs in this series vs. the Cardinals.

Our St. Louis Cardinals vs San Diego Padres Prediction

Manny Machado has the highest home run tally this season for the Padres with 22—moreover, Machado’s RBI tally of 78 ranks second only to Jurickson Profar’s team-high 80 RBIs. The All-Star slugger has been on a tear in the first two games of the series vs. the Cardinals, recording a homer and three RBIs in Game 1 before following it up with another homer in Game 2. Will Machado go for a third straight game with a homer? I think he’s capable of doing such a feat, considering his terrific showing at the plate recently. Machado only has a single hit in 5 at-bats against Cardinals starter Andre Pallante, and yet, I would still choose to roll with Machado, who is batting .298 with 5 homers and 19 RBIs this August. Our betting prediction for San Diego Padres vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Back Machado to record 1+ RBIs, +120, at DraftKings.

Prediction:

 

Manny Machado 1+ RBIs
