Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth drove in half of his team’s runs in their 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Hitting out of the #8 spot in the batting order, the 2-time All-Star went 2 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, a walk, and 2 runs scored.

Rangers vs. Padres Betting Prediction
I like Texas in this game. A few relevant numbers will illustrate why. The Rangers are 22-21 straight up after a win and 44-41 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest this season. What’s more, Texas is 35-31 straight up in non-division games in 2025. Since June 7th, the Rangers are 15-10 straight up in their last 25 games overall. I think Texas continues to play good baseball, and they win the rubber match of this three-game series over San Diego on Sunday night. The pick is the Rangers +120 on the money line over the Padres at Bovada.lv.
