The Padres are coming into this game with a 10-7 record overall and they are 4-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Reds on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Sean Manaea was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Joe Musgrove will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA this season. His team won all 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 7 Ks on 4 hits in 6.1 IP against the Cincinnati Reds. They scored 6 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 18 runs against them averaging 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Reds are coming into this game with a 3-13 record overall and they are 1-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 11 of their last 12 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped an 11 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Padres on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Nick Lodolo was the starter for them on Sunday while Reiver Sanmartin will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Tuesday. He is 0-2 with a 7.11 ERA this season. His team has lost all 3 games this season with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 4 strikeouts on 8 hits through 5.1 innings played against the San Diego Padres. They scored 6 runs in their last series averaging 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 10 runs against them averaging just over 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Padres are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. They just lost their series to the Dodgers over the weekend but they were playing very well going into that series and it is still pretty good that they stole a game from the Dodgers. They were winning a lot prior to that series and they had even gone up against the Reds in a series last week, sweeping them in all 3 games. The Reds are coming into this game off of a win that snapped an 11 game losing streak but the troubles are still not over for them. They still did not play that well in that game and they left many chances for the Cardinals to come back in. The Padres are a much better team and they already swept the Reds in a series recently. The Padres also have the better pitching matchup here and there is really no reason why they should lose this game. The best bet here is on the Padres to win this game.

"To have that moment was really cool. And I know my mom (Opal) loved it, too. It doesn't really happen often that you have a brother that's in the big leagues and one that's in the military and then for his base to be out here. It was a beautiful moment.″ - Sean Manaea after their loss against the Dodgers on Sunday.

 

 

"There was a lot of celebration going on today. It was obviously a big win. You could kind of see it weighing on guys, really for the first time. I was concerned that it might be affecting us, then they bounced back today. When we needed it the most, Nick got his first win. Throwing strikes, he had all his pitches working. It was a great day for him. It is something we can take into the off day and build on." - David Bell after his team’s win against the Cardinals on Sunday.
