Though unexpected to many, it's been Joe Musgrove who's led the Padres' rotation and is now sporting one of the best pitching profiles in baseball. Back him to protect his undefeated record and lead the Padres to victory - as our MLB picks explain. The Philadelphia Phillies have dropped three straight and enter the final series of their 11-game…

Rays officials couldn't have been much more pleased with how the 2019 season turned out. They made it to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons as the core of young players they cleared room for in previous roster reshaping developed into impact players, and they boasted openly about how well set up they were for the future. "There's so…

With the 2021 MLB season upon us, we will take a look at how the AL East appears to be shaping up. Here are my predictions for the AL East in the 2021 MLB season: The Baltimore Orioles finished 4th in the AL East just one season ago, but are by no means ready to compete in this division. The rotation does not look great and the lineup has a ton of…

Two of the NL's best teams collide when the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres face off on Tuesday at Petco Park in San Diego. The Padres (28-14) are just a half-game behind the Dodgers (28-13) for the best record in the league. Meanwhile, the Brewers (26-16) lead the NL Central and have the fourth-best record in the NL. On Tuesday two Cy Young…

Throughout the rest of the offseason, as the Orioles deliberate the best way to add another starting pitcher to the rotation, the calculus could shift the organization's thinking more toward pursuing a trade than signing a free agent. The free agent market for higher-end talent has already dwindled in that area, and Baltimore has appeared hesitant…

With the All-Star break approaching, now's a good time to check back in on World Series futures odds. Given the nature of baseball, it's anyone's game come playoff time. We've seen teams with relatively mediocre odds entering the playoffs win the Commissioner's Trophy in two of the past three seasons (Atlanta in 2021, Washington in'19). Below,…

Randy Arozarena has been one of the more vital players to the Tampa Bay Rays' operation of late. That narrative is furthered by the Rays trading Austin Meadows to the Detroit Tigers. One way or another, Tampa Bay traded away one of its best players and has to find a way to make up for his departure (the players they received from Detroit, Isaac…

The Dodgers and Padres enter Friday tied 1-1 in their NL Divisional Series. Los Angeles will start Tony Gonsolin for the pivotal Game 3, while San Diego counters with Blake Snell. Gonsolin went an insane 16-1 this season with a 2.14 ERA. He was particularly tough late in the year, allowing just three runs in his last five outings (25 ²/₃ innings).…

Josh Hader first went two innings in his third appearance as a rookie in 2017. He went three innings three weeks later. By the time he was beginning to save games for the Brewers the following April, one-plus was a staple for the lanky left-hander. One-plus. Two. Two-plus. Even three a few times, including twice in the 2018 NLCS against the…

Welcome to playoff baseball, where the "best" team wins the championship far less often than in other sports. To wit: According to Baseball Prospectus odds, no team in the 2021 playoff field has better than a 20 percent chance to win the World Series. With eight deserving teams ready to do battle, let's dive into the reasons each particular team…

The last day of spring training has arrived. It's time to do one more roster prediction, since I hate to pass up a chance to show how wrong I can be. (Plus, hours after my last roster projection arrived in your inboxes, the Padres traded for Luke Voit. You're welcome.) There is a decent chance at least one more move is coming before Thursday's…

It's been a disappointing spring for the San Diego Padres, who only made a few notable transactions when the lockout lifted in early March. And if MLB insider Jim Bowden's prediction is correct, the disappointment will continue into the regular season, so much so that they'll end up trading away some big names and punting the season. On Monday,…

We are just two championship series away from knowing our 2022 World Series matchup. The NLCS kicked off last night with game two on the horizon today, followed by game one of the ALCS.

The Post's Mark W. Sanchez previews the NL West O/U wins: 97.5 Key player: Mookie Betts. For the Dodgers to be historically great - which is a real possibility - they could use their $365 million man in peak form. The right fielder was merely very good (.854 OPS) but not great last season, and the lineup is even more ludicrous with the addition of…

Los Angeles has its division lead on lock, but San Diego came away with a win in Game 1 of this series. With two incredible southpaws on the mound tonight, our MLB betting picks see this total staying Under the number. The San Diego Padres took Game 1 of the series, giving fans at Petco something to cheer for in a 5-4 victory. The Los Angeles…

Arizona has lost three of its last four games after dropping the final two games of its series at Pittsburgh over the weekend, while Cincinnati lost three straight against Washington. Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison…

The San Francisco Giants will visit the San Diego Padres in the first game of their series in the National League West from Petco Park on Monday night. The weather is expected to be mildly humid with a 4.8% chance of rain and 6.7 miles per hour winds. The San Francisco Giants are coming off of a 2 run win against the Oakland Athletics in their last…

I did not think Juan Soto would be traded this summer. Considering his age, profile and the years of control remaining before he hits free agency -- not to mention the fact that Scott Boras will make sure he hits the market no matter who he's playing for -- I assumed the price would be exorbitant. It was, but the Padres didn't mind paying it. While…

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to move one step closer to their first World Series appearance in 13 years as they try to take a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series on Wednesday. The Phillies (87-75) defeated the Padres (89-73) 2-0 in Tuesday night's matchup. Philadelphia finished third in the NL East this past season before…

It has been a fruitless trip to the Mile High City for the San Diego Padres, but they can at least salvage something with a win in today's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. The Padres went into their series against the Rockies with 10 wins in 13 games and had just swept the Cubs in a four-game series at Wrigley Field. But the Rockies, who…

Wednesday was scheduled to be the first official day of spring training for all 30 Major League Baseball franchises. Instead, camps across Arizona and Florida were quiet and the big leaguers were absent. The 2022 season remains frozen due to a lockout of the players by the owners after the. There has been little movement, at least publicly, between…

The series is a tale of two underdogs - the Rays lost their two…

The Rays do a lot of things differently. And that includes how they are defending their first American League championship since 2008. Since losing to the Dodgers in the World Series, the Rays have parted ways with two of their top three starting pitchers, Blake Snell and Charlie Morton, along with a few other players, while making only moderate…

We had a bit of a blip yesterday; we lost our only MLB Best Bet. It was such an excruciating game to watch. The Braves had many chances to capitalize on Matthew Liberatore, but he ultimately made a solid start. They seemed to have baserunners every inning but couldn't drive them home. That's baseball, and it happens. It was good to see the…

Nick Martinez bet on himself when he went to Japan in 2017. He became a better pitcher and returned to Major League Baseball in 2022, signing a contract with the Padres that was essentially another bet on himself. That four-year deal allowed him to opt out after every season if he chose, which is what Martinez did earlier this month before…
