SD Padres have lost 3 games in a row and they'll be motivated here to beat the Rays. SD is 8 games back in the Wild Card with 43 games remaining so its now or never.
The Padres had their offense rolling a good bit before struggling against the Rays. They have Quantrill who is pitching well, who just gave up 5 hits and 0 runs in 7 innings against the Rockies, held the Dodgers to 2 runs, the Giants to 1 run and the Cubs/Braves to 0 runs as well.
TB's starter Beeks on the other hand just gave up 5 hits in 3 innings to Seattle, 3 runs to Miami and a total of 32 hit and 13 walks (45 baserunners) in 26 innings. Let's roll with the better pitcher who doesn't give free passes to get us the cash tonight.
