✅ The Cincinnati Reds pitching staff has been abysmal this season, allowing 6.21 runs per game, 29th overall. They are also 29th in opponent OPS (.818) and 27th in opponent batting average (.272). The Padres are allowing more than two fewer runs per game, 11th overall at 4.03.
Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds (2-8) lost their sixth straight game when they fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, 9-1. Cincinnati is being obliterated by opponents, allowing 43 runs during this six-game losing streak while plating 15. The Reds are 2-6 on the road and find themselves in last place in the NL Central.
Starter Tyler Mahle allowed seven earned runs in 3.2 innings in the loss to Los Angeles on Sunday. The starting staff has put this team in a precarious situation almost every night, posting a 7.22 ERA through the first eight games. They have suffered six of the team’s eight losses. Now the team turns to Nick Lodolo looking to stop the bleeding. The left-hander was rocked in his first start, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks in 4.00 innings.
San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres (5-5) lost to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, 5-2, the second straight night they lost to the Braves by that score. The team played Atlanta on Sunday, but this preview was written prior to the conclusion of that contest. San Diego is 1-2 at home and is currently in fourth place in the NL West.
San Diego produced just four hits in the loss to Atlanta on Saturday. Both runs came off homers as Jurickson Profar hit his third of the season and Trent Grisham added his first of the year. Profar has three homers and nine RBI to lead the club, but San Diego has produced eight total home runs, tied for 19th. The Padres are 15 in runs scored per game (4.45), batting average (.237), and OPS (.688). Sean Manaea will make his third start after going 1-1 with a 1.38 ERA and a 0.54 WHIP in his first two starts.
