Prediction

Logan Webb has demonstrated exceptional performance at home, boasting a 2.67 ERA at Oracle Park. However, the Padres are healthier and playing well, making them the favorites. Dylan Cease’s solid season performance, particularly holding opponents to a .196 batting average on the road, gives San Diego an edge. Expect a competitive game.
