San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians 5/4/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The San Diego Padres will meet with the Cleveland Guardians in MLB action in Progressive Field, OH, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, at 1:10 PM ET. On Tuesday night, the Padres will bring up Mike Clevinger to make his first appearance of the year against his former team.

On Wednesday, Clevinger pitched 3 2/3 innings in his third rehab appearance and will make his first start of the 2022 season — and the first since 2020 — after recuperating from Tommy John’s surgery and a knee strain.

Clevinger will undoubtedly be rusty, but he demonstrated the ability to strike out a lot of batters. He has the potential to be an important member of the Padres’ bullpen.

San Diego won 15 of their first 23 games, which is a fantastic start to the season. The starting pitching was excellent, and despite their 3.51 team ERA, they walked the fewest hitters in MLB. Furthermore, opponents are batting only.215, and the Padres have a good 1.15 WHIP, which ranks seventh in baseball.

Joe Musgrove had an outstanding start to the year, going 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 33/2 K/BB ratio. This might be a dangerous squad moving into the long summer grind if Clevinger can shore up the back end of the rotation.

The total went OVER in 6 of San Diego’s last 7 matches.
The San Diego Padres are 5-1 SU in their previous 6 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of San Diego’s last 5 matches on the road against Cleveland.

San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians Predictions 5/4/2022

Zach Plesac is slated to make his sixth start of the season for the Guardians. Last week, he was chastised by the Angels, something he will never forget.

In the defeat, he allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings. Taylor Ward turned the game around in the second, hitting a second-inning grand slam against Plesac to put the Guardians in a 6-2 hole.

Before getting crushed on Wednesday, the 27-year-old right-hander only permitted earned runs in his previous three outings. In this home game against San Diego, he had a 3.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 12/4 K/BB ratio (21 1/3 innings).

Through the first month of the year, Cleveland had a strong start at the bat. Along with the fourth-highest batting average, they have the fifth-highest slugging percentage (.405). They possess 20 home runs, with Jose Ramirez in the center of the lineup giving a tremendous presence.

Through 22 starts this season, the seventh-year veteran has a .341 batting average, seven home runs, and 28 RBI. Cleveland, on the other hand, dropped seven of their last ten games.

The Cleveland Guardians are 3-7 SU in their previous 10 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of Cleveland’s last 5 matches against San Diego.
Cleveland is 2-6 SU in their last 8 matches in the National League.

San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians. The MLB pick for this game is the San Diego Padres.
