This is a 10* on SAN DIEGO

Texas has been no match for San Diego in this series with the Padres taking all three games so far. The first two were playing in Arlington and made headlines when Fernando Tatis swung on a 3-0 count and hit a grand slam (upset people for some reason). It took an extra inning last night but the Padres still ended up winning 6-3 and now they get to go for the sweep with what looks to be a huge pitching edge. Lamet has a 1.59 ERA/0.81 WHIP through five starts and has looked great. He’s allowed only six runs in 28+ innings, which means trouble for a Texas club that comes in hitting just .214 on the year. The Rangers are giving up lots of runs too, 6.0/game on the road, thanks largely to a bullpen whose ERA is now 8.26 away from home. Starter Kyle Gibson has a 1.48 WHIP and the team is 1-3 in his four starts. With last night’s game decided on a walkoff grand slam, we can’t imagine Texas has much left in the tank.
