After simulating every game on Saturday 10,000 times, the model is going with the San Diego Padres (-129) to defeat the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles (+110). The Padres entered the series by losing two of three at Arizona after being swept in Seattle, and losing three of four at home to the Dodgers. With the losses mounting and just a little over a month and a half to go in the season, it's go-time for San Diego. The Padres have the best team ERA in the National League at 3.83, but the once potent offense has dipped. San Diego is hitting just .240 as a team, 11th-best in the NL.
Second baseman Ha-Seong Kim is among the team leaders in hitting, entering the series batting .286 with 15 homers, 42 RBI and 65 runs scored. The Orioles counter with the seventh-best hitting offense in the American League at .251, and ninth-best pitching staff in the AL with a 4.09 team ERA. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle is among the team's leading hitters, batting .272 with 15 homers, 54 RBI and 50 runs scored. Entering the series, he had back-to-back multi-hit games in a pair of victories at Seattle over the weekend. See the model's top MLB picks here.
