The Padres are in position to steal a series win from the MLB-best Rays and with a hot Joe Musgrove taking the mound, we like their chances — read more in our MLB betting picks below.
Joe Musgrove 5+ strikeoutshas seen Yonny Chirinos plenty dating back to his days with the Red Sox, and he’s always hit him. The shortstop owns a .400 batting average in 15 at-bats against Chirinos with two doubles and a home run.
Bogaerts is one of the hottest Padres in the lineup right now with a .357 average over the last two weeks and a spicy .500 slugging percentage. I also likein this spot, considering he’s been even hotter, but the value on Bogaerts is greater here. The Rays have been shockingly bad at the plate lately, posting a 24.8% strikeout rate in the last two weeks. That’s reason to fire up Musgrove’s strikeout prop; he’s punched out 13 in his last 11 innings and has gone for 5+ strikeouts in seven of his nine starts.: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting siteDespite everything I’ve just said above about the Padres and how the Rays have struggled, the line really hasn’t moved all that much either way.
If I were to play the total, I’d probably side with the Under here. While I do think Chirinos has been a bit fortunate to pitch around so many batted balls and love the matchup for a free-swinging Padres team, I do respect the work he’s done this year with a 2.35 ERA and the bullpen behind him should remain strong.
Chirinos’ expected wOBA on contact is just .343, so you can even make some arguments he deserves good numbers despite his high 4.70 xERA.Looking to bet on some baseball action? Here are two of the best bonuses* available:up to 100%
