The San Diego Padres will host the Saint Louis Cardinals in the final game of a 3-game set on Wednesday. The Cardinals will be going for a sweep of the series by sending Zack Thompson to the mound. He made his first start against the Dodgers, going 5.1 innings and allowing 5 runs on 6 hits while striking out 4 in a loss. Last season, he was 9-5 with a 4.48 era and 72 strikeouts in 66.1 innings pitched. The Padres will look to avoid the sweep by sending Joe Musgrove to the mound. Musgrove has struggled this season, posting a 9.72 ERA in two starts.The Padres are hitting the ball well but are just not producing runs. Thompson is great against Left-Handers but the Padres will counter with their right handed power hitters Bogaerts, Machado, Tatis Jr., H.S. Kim, and Luis Campusano. Both teams should score in this one but I like the Padres to get the win.
