San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres visit Angel Stadium for a showdown against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, bringing a sense of urgency after a narrow defeat in their series finale against the Kansas City Royals.

The Padres, hovering just above a .500 record (32-30), are looking to bolster their standing with a strong performance against the struggling Angels, who suffered three consecutive defeats to the Seattle Mariners, extending their losing streak to five overall.

Predictions

The Padres have demonstrated resilience and adaptability, with baseball's highest batting average (.295), on-base percentage (.349), and runs per game (5.33) away from home. Matt Waldron is coming off his best start of the season, a seven-inning win against the Miami Marlins last Tuesday in which he did not allow a run. If he can maintain that level of consistency against tough veteran left-hander Tyler Anderson, expect the Padres to prevail in a low-scoring contest.

More
