Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Padres and the Marlins
Rotoworld Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Padres to be in the postseason mix:
“Looking at the second half of the year per Tankathon, San Diego has the 4th-easiest strength of schedule remaining
The Padres open the second-half with three games at the Nationals, three more at the Marlins, then to St. Louis for three more road games as part of a nine-game East Coast road trip. However, we have to admit, those are decent matchups to have a winning record across for a 9-game road trip — in other words, it could be much worse.
After that nine-game road trip, the next 27 games will be on the West Coast for San Diego, whether they are in California, Arizona or Washington (the state). San Diego will be in a prime position to make a run at the playoffs, but I still haven’t gotten to the best part.
The final month of the season is a great opportunity for the Padres to gain ground too — in the final 28 games — 13 of those are against the Orioles, White Sox, and Rockies!
I love the Padres to make the postseason as a second-half futures bet.”
