St. Louis Cardinals vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The San Diego Padres are a team I’ve been on a lot over the last couple of months, and they continue to rack up the wins. That shouldn’t change here with the cheap price and Joe Musgrove on the mound, who has been ridiculous in the month of august. Musgrove has allowed 1 run in his last 15.2 innings. I’m not stepping in front of the Padres given their current form, especially with cheap prices. Give me the Padres in what feels like a steal at this number.
