The San Diego Padres (69-78, 72-75 RL, 63-76-8 O/U) clash with the Oakland Athletics (46-100, 73-73 RL, 75-65-6 O/U) in an interleague bout on Saturday evening. The Padres will give the starting nod to Matt Waldron. The Athletics will have Mason Miller on the rubber. These clubs last met in the 2021 season.

The Padres will have Matt Waldron on the rubber on Saturday. Waldron struggled last time out, conceding four runs in five innings against the Astros, and was hit with the loss. The right-hander has struggled in his five appearances on the season, squandering 15 runs, leading to a 5.55 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP accompanied by an 0-3 record in 24.1 innings. He only has 15 strikeouts.

San Diego had a disastrous season. They were expected to contend and were never in a postseason spot the entire season. They have been inconsistent all year. The Padres have lost two of their last three series. They were able to record a series win against the Dodgers this week to improve to 5-5 in their last ten decisions. The offense scored 19 runs in the series.

Manny Machado has knocked in five runs in his last four games. The veteran third baseman is having an outstanding season, clubbing 28 homers with 84 RBIs and a .773 OPS. Machado has an outstanding .917 OPS in 49 career games against the Athletics. Xander Bogaerts is questionable.

San Diego is scoring an average of 4.59 runs on the year, marking them 15th. The pitching is solid, amassing a 3.92 team ERA, good for fifth.
