San Diego Padres vs. Cleveland Guardians Odds, Line, Picks, and Prediction - August 23 | 2022 MLB Season
The San Diego Padres will be at home to face the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. The Padres beat the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Sunday, moving to 68-56 for the year. Looking at the Guardians, they are now 64-56 for the season after their loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. San Diego has been a pretty good home team, holding a 35-26 record at Petco Park. Cleveland has had a couple of days off, but they still have a two-game lead in the American League Central.
Mike Clevinger, who is 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA, will be taking the mound Tuesday for San Diego. Despite the solid overall numbers, he's struggled recently, allowing nine earned runs in his past 14 innings. Otherwise, he has been steady this season and will be up against a mediocre Guardians lineup on Tuesday. The Padres' righty has been pretty good at his home park this season. In San Diego, he's holding a 2.96 ERA for the year, and Cleveland doesn't usually put up a ton of runs. Look for Clevinger to try to get back on track on a mound where he's more comfortable.
The Guardians will hand the ball to Aaron Civale, who is 2-5 with a 5.63 ERA. His last start was stellar, going six innings, allowing one earned run while striking out ten. The right-hander has been much better overall, holding a 2.00 ERA in his past four outings. Civale seems to have turned a corner, and this season San Diego has been poor at home offensively. Expect Civale to try and maintain his recent success on Tuesday.
