was asked why Padres-Big thing on padres for me today is King vs Buehler. Buehler is a gas can-- he's 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA with a terrible 1.55 WHIP, where has King has had 5 straight strong games, which includes last tuesday pitching 7 shutout innings while fanning 12 against Atlanta, and over his last 30 innings, has allowed just 4 earned runs. Last time King faced LAD on 9/24 he gave up just 1 in 5 innings, with SD winning 4-2.He sports a 2.82 ERA and 2-0 in 22.1 innings against LAD in his career. Without freeman LAD stands a tougher battle as the bats of LAD havent batted well against Padres this year with Ohtani batting just .222, Rojas .143, Betts .000 and Will Smith .000. Padres are also 4-1 last 5 outings against LAD in San Diego. Give me the team fired up with emotion and momentum from the big win, going home with the better pitcher and lineup.
