The Padres are coming into this game with a 50-50 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games and they came out of the break with a 7-0 loss. They are going up against a Guardians team that is 59-37 this season and they have been starting to play better recently, winning 2 of their last 3 games. Their pitching has also been great as they are coming off of a 7-0 win over the Padres out of the break and they have allowed 2 runs or less in each of their last 4 games. Gavin Williams is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 0-1 with a 3.77 ERA this season. He has only had 3 starts this season but he has been pitching much better in each. He allowed 5 earned runs in his 1st start of the season, but since then he has only allowed 1 earned run total in his last 2 starts combined. He has also been allowing less hits in each start and that will make it more difficult for this Padres offense which has already been struggling recently. Dylan Cease is starting for the Padres in this game and he is 8-8 with a 3.99 ERA this season. He did not allow any runs in his last start, but prior to that he allowed 9 earned runs in a little over 10 innings pitched in his 2 starts before. He has also allowed at least 3 earned runs in 4 of his last 6 starts and the bullpen has been awful in these as they have allowed a lot of runs in those games. The Guardians are going to have a big boost from that 7-0 win out of the break and they will continue their good form into this game. The Guardians will win this game at home.
