San Diego Padres vs Cincinnati Reds predictions 01/07/2021

Details:

I guess I hadn’t looked closely during a while but the Padres for all their success this season are only 17-18 on the road heading into Tuesday action. they ought to have many confidence for this series though as once they met a touch over every week ago they swept the Reds reception , beginning an eight-game streak . San Diego has found their power stroke in June, already hitting seven more homers than they did in May with still a couple of games to play. The Reds have tons of offense but the leading duo of Jesse Winker and Nick Castellanos has cooled off a touch (Castellanos’ 7 RBIs against Philly on Monday notwithstanding). The third member of their powerful outfield trio, Tyler Naquin, features a sore wrist which is that the quite injury which will linger. Getting Eugenio Suarez on target is vital . the facility is there but he's hitting just .175.

Don’t be fooled by the 4-6 record Joe Musgrove has been great for San Diego this season. He has no decisions in his last two starts but gave up only one run over those 13.0 innings. He has been as reliable as any of the starters the Padres have this year albeit his acquisition was low profile. Rookie Vladimir Gutierrez remains working his way through the league. He has only made six starts but his worst far and away was against these Padres, five earned runs over just 5.0 innings on June 19th. That was on the road and therefore the game being at the good American Ballpark offers only modest benefits. He has been better reception but that park generally plays small. the sole reason to hesitate in taking the Padres is that poor road record. Musgrove provides a serious advantage and that they have already hit Gutierrez hard this season. i'm tempted to require the run line but will accept the cash line play backing one among the simplest teams in MLB. That road record will come around. Take San Diego .
