The Rays continue their road trip through the western United States. After a successful series in the Arizona Desert, where they managed to win two games in extra innings by hitting at the right time, they defeated the D-backs 2 games to 1, bringing their record to 11-14.

Now, the Rays face a three-game series against the Padres at Petco Park, the best home team in the MLB, which currently boasts a 12-1 record. Meanwhile, due to scheduling reasons and to avoid the rainy season, this will be just their third road series for the Rays in 2025.

Bookies predict a low-scoring contest at Petco Park, considered a pitchers' park, but the strength of the starting pitchers could also play a role.

King will be pitching for the Padres, and while the Padres lost 2-3 to the Astros the last time King started, the Padres have won all four of his previous starts. In April and in San Diego, King was solid, not allowing a single ER in 14 innings against the Guardians and against the Rockies.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs San Diego Padres Prediction

Both teams are among the top 10 MLB teams with the highest AVG, but neither team ranks in the top 20 MLB teams with the most HRs. Tatis remains the Padres' hot hitter and already has eight home runs, but Arraez has also increased his average over the last 10 games. Baz will be the Rays' starting pitcher; he only pitched once against the Padres, pitching five innings and allowing two runs and one home run. Our prediction for Rays vs Padres is: Under 7 runs.

Prediction:

 

Under 7 runs.
