Texas Rangers vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Padres and the plus money is worth a look when you consider how good they’ve played over the last couple of weeks. However, I’m not running to the window to back Adam Mazur and his struggles through his first five starts. With that said, Jon Gray is coming off a rough month of June where he allowed 18 runs in 19.1 innings. Both offenses are capable of scoring quickly and often, and both pitchers are in shaky form at best. I expect some fireworks before the fourth. Give me the over 9 runs in Game 2 between the Rangers and Padres.
