Betting Odds: San Diego Padres / Miami Marlins --- Over/Under:

The Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Petco Park. 

This Padres Team is Toast

The Padres team has been awful all season, and they might have hit a low on Saturday. The Padres offense only scored one run while the pitching gave up eight runs to the Diamondbacks, and that led to the defeat. The Marlins are averaging 4.1 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.42 runs per game. This is an offense that is loaded with talent, and that has been quite the disappointment. In this game if the Padres want to find success, they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going early.
