In this story:


Kyle Higashioka's second career walk-off hit gave the Padres a walk-off, 4-3 win over the Oakland A's on Tuesday night; less than 24 hours later the two teams are back at it at Petco Park for a rare afternoon tilt in the Gaslamp. It's the Padres' 13th game in 13 days.

Prediction

Fernando Tatis Jr. will be the key player to watch, as he has been on a 17-game hitting streak, and scoring at least one run in the last six home games. The Padres have the upper hand with their recent track record of success when scoring four or more runs and being favorites against American League opponents. Michael King is having a solid first season with the Padres, while 27-year-old Hogan Harris has been enjoying a breakout for the A's. Tatis will be hard-pressed to maintain his streak, and the Padres' fortunes could hinge on his success.

More

Jurickson Profar, who was forced to leave in the eighth inning Tuesday due to a knee injury exacerbated during a swing, is not in the Padres' lineup.
