Padres vs Rays Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today's MLB Game

The Tampa Bay Rays enter today’s matchup against the San Diego Padres at Tropicana Field as a 55% favorite, with first pitch set for 4:10 p.m. ET on Aug. 29. Picks back San Diego despite the tight matchup, citing that Padres right-hander Nick Martinez has been more vulnerable at home. Both starters have recently limited hard contact, with Buehler posting a 2.33 xERA over the last two outings and Martinez carrying a 3.19 FIP over the last two weeks, though Martinez has a 4.27 FIP at Tropicana Field. The prediction expects a lower-scoring game, taking the Under 7.5, plus a home run pick for Jackson Merrill.
