Prediction
The matchup heavily favors the Padres on paper. Dylan Cease (9-8, 3.76 ERA) has gone 13 innings without allowing a run over his last two starts. In comparison, veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin (2-9, 5.35 ERA) remains inconsistent despite a decent last outing against the Reds. Expect the Padres to leverage their strong offense and Cease's command.
