San Diego @ Toronto picks

The San Diego Padres were just held off the scoreboard in a 3-0 loss on Tuesday. Now they face the Jays ace in Kevin Gausman, who is looking for a bounce-back performance. The Padres have dropped four straight, and I believe that'll extend to five on Wednesday night. 

The San Diego Padres are playing well, and Fernando Tatis Jr. is a big reason behind it. He’s batting .303 so far with 12 home runs and he’s really found his power over the last couple of weeks. Tatis Jr. has left the yard four times in his last nine games and is enjoying a four-game hitting streak at the moment. The 26-year-old will love tonight’s matchup. The Toronto Blue Jays send Kevin Gausman to the bump, and Tatis Jr. has made his life a nightmare, going 8-for-17 lifetime with a pair of home runs. 

The Toronto Blue Jays starter has a tough task today vs. the San Diego Padres and he enters tonight in poor form. Kevin Gausman has gone Under this number in back-to-back starts and in three of his last four. He is coming off a 17-out performance where he also gave up three long balls. He also threw a season-high 101 pitches and has a 6.66 ERA over his last five games. He might need to work on his efficiency and throwing beyond 95 pitches hasn’t been helping. His K% over the last two seasons has also taken a nosedive as he was a 31.1% K% pitcher in 2023 but fell to 21% last season and sits at 22% this year.
