The Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres face off for a National League weekday series from Petco Park.
Sean Manaea pitched six strong innings and Manny Machado had a two-run homer among his three hits for the Padres, who won 4-1 on Monday night to hand the Cincinnati Reds their seventh straight loss.
Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds are not starting the 2022 season how they would have liked, as they have now been swept two series in a row. The Guardians and the Dodgers had a field day against the Red’s defense. Cincinnati is only scoring 3.64 runs per game and hitting .180 as a team. This is the 22nd least amount of runs scored per game and the 29th worst team batting average in the MLB.
The Reds have also had a very difficult time generating any power, as they are only averaging .75 homers per game. This is the 23rd worst average in the league, as the Reds don’t have enough juice in their batting order.
On the defensive side of the field, the Reds have also struggled this season. They are simply giving up too many runs each game and their offense can’t keep up. They are allowing the 29th most runs per game and also have the 29th worst overall WHIP rating as a team. The Red’s pitchers are allowing too many men to reach base safely and the opposing teams are taking advantage.
Kyle Farmer is currently leading the team with the highest batting average, as he has been playing better to start the 2022 season. He is hitting .321 and also has 5 RBIs.
San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres are starting the season strong, but they need to cut down on their strikeouts if they want to be better on the offensive side of the field. So far this season the Padres have scored 4.09 runs per game and are hitting .228 as a team, which is the 20th lowest batting average in the MLB. They aren’t as strong on the offensive side of the field right now, as they have multiple top guys out with injuries.
Once they can get Tatis Jr. back into the lineup, they will be ready to start attacking. The Padres are also averaging .86 home runs this season, which is also the 22nd lowest average.
On the defensive side of the field, the Padres have also been pretty solid this season. Their starting pitching has held up through a few series and they will be ready to attack the Reds in this game. As a team, the Padres are giving up 3.75 runs per game and have a combined WHIP rating of 1.14. This is the seventh-lowest rating in the MLB this season, as their starters and bullpen have done a great job of keeping opposing hitters off the base paths.
Eric Hosmer has been the best hitter for the Padres so far this season. He is leading the team with a .378 batting average and 3 RBIs.

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction:
I have zero faith in the Cincinnati Reds right now and I don’t see them keeping it close against the Padres. San Diego was able to play with the Dodgers in the first series of the season and I don’t believe the Reds can say the same. Cincinnati has now lost seven straight games and they can’t find any help on the defensive side of the field. Their pitching has been shaky and they are also having to rely on their bullpen too much to start the season.
The Padres are scoring 4.09 runs per game and also have a .228 team batting average. They will be able to produce hits and runs throughout the entire game against the Reds. Cincinnati is giving up the 29th most runs per game and they can’t find a way to stop this problem right now. The Padres are one of the better hitting teams in the league and they will take advantage of the Red’s sloppy play.
Expect San Diego to win again handily.
