The Tampa Bay Rays will try to stay hot, seeking their fifth straight win in Sunday’s series finale against the suddenly slumping San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The Rays have won their last four games, including two exquisite wins vs. the Padres this weekend. After scoring seven runs in back-to-back games vs. the Diamondbacks, Tampa Bay flexed their pitching prowess in the first two games of this series, allowing the Padres to score only one run between Game 1 and 2.
The Padres, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five games, including three straight setbacks. San Diego’s offense is non-existing right now, batting .163 with 1.4 runs per game over their last five games. And while they are still pitching a solid 2.93 ERA in their last five, the lack of scoring opportunities is holding this team from securing winnable games.

Our San Diego Padres vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Tampa Bay sweeps the series as the Padres struggle behind the plate.
I still think the Rays will win Game 3. It's not that I trust Zach Littel to deliver, but because the Padres are such a mess offensively, I no longer believe they can win a game against elite squads by good pitching alone. San Diego is producing 4.0 runs per game this season and 3.0 runs per contest at home. The Padres are dispatching Randy Vasquez to start on Sunday. Still, I don’t know if Vasquez has already gotten over the trauma of a miserable stint against Detroit, in which he gave up six earned runs in 2.0 innings pitched. Tampa Bay is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games. Our betting prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs. San Diego Padres: Rays -1.5 Runs
