PREDICTION: OAKLAND , SAN DIEGO
Oddsmakers currently have the OAKLAND listed as -165 point favorites versus the SAN DIEGO, while the game’s total is sitting at 8.5.
The Oakland Athletics look to record their 14th victory in 17 games when they host the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their two-game interleague set. Oakland produced a 6-2 win in the series opener as Jed Lowrie delivered a key three-run double to continue his standout campaign.
Lowrie is hoping to make an All-Star team for the first time in his career as he has hit 14 homers while leading the team with a .293 batting average and 59 RBIs. “It would be the icing on the cake,” the 34-year-old Lowrie told reporters after Tuesday’s game. “I feel like I’ve been close a couple times and haven’t been there, so that would be something I would always be able to say.” While Oakland is streaking, the Padres are sliding downward with 12 setbacks in their last 15 games. Leadoff hitter Travis Jankowski recorded his third multi-hit performance of the season for San Diego on Tuesday and also stole his 13th base.
