Tonight

15 games on the slate — the marquee: Padres @ Reds at 2026-09-01T22:40:00.0000000+00:00.

Nick Lodolo has been especially stingy against San Diego, holding Padres hitters to a .216 BAA and a 29% strikeout rate. That track record matters because his 5.47 ERA across 79.0 innings this year belies some recent inconsistency. Books list the Padres around a -134 moneyline and set the total at 9.5, reflecting how the market is weighing Lodolo’s past success against his shaky 2026 form. Still, Dustin Harris is red-hot, batting .438 over his last 10 games, a flare that complicates Lodolo’s edge.

Watch list

Mets @ Rays — Freddy Peralta has dominated New York Mets — .129 BAA with a 30% strikeout rate over 105 plate appearances across 4 seasons.
