Padres' supporting cast is fantastic, but lineup team knows it has to have Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. playing closer to their best
It is pretty easy to envision how the Padres could have one of the best records in Major League Baseball. They are not close to that now. Their 30-29 mark going into Friday night’s game against the Royals ranks 12th in MLB and barely has them positioned in the National League’s final wild-card spot. And for whatever other reasons might contribute to them not winning from game to game, there is one simple reasons they are not better.
Boagerts, who went on the injured list May 21 and is expected to be sidelined at least another seven weeks with a fracture in his left shoulder, has a .581 OPS. The Padres talking up their depth is valid. They would be horrid without Jurickson Profar and Jake Cronenworth leading the team with 35 RBIs apiece and being tied for second with eight home runs apiece. They have been energized by Luis Arraez at the top of the order and buoyed by Donovan Solano filling in at third and designated hitter.
