Stephen Nover's MLB Total of the Week
(MLB) San Diego vs. Texas,
Total: 9.00 | -114.00 Over
Result: Loss
There's no questioning San Diego's offensive abilities even with Fernando Tatis Jr. out, especially since the Padres get to use a DH for the first time this season. 

It's the Rangers, though, that have been a major offensive surprise so far. Texas has the sixth highest batting average in the majors and ranks 10th in runs scored. 

The Padres are pitching Joe Musgrove, who is prone to the long ball and more vulnerable being away from Petco Park. He has a lifetime 4.76 ERA against the Rangers in seven appearances, including five starts. San Diego has committed an MLB-high eight errors. 

San Diego should be able to do damage against Texas starter Kohei Arihara and a very weak Texas bullpen. Arihara made his big league debut against the Royals six days ago and was touched for three runs on six hits in five innings finishing with a 5.40 ERA.
