Welcome to a Saturday edition of MLB best bets. Below, we’ll look to make it three winning plays in a row. We’ll focus on Game 2 of a National League series between the New York Mets and San Diego Padres, taking place in Petco Park. 

New York Mets @ San Diego Padres

The Padres offense has come alive over the past week, the recent surge has been propelled by their captain Manny Machado. Over the last seven games, Machado has a .361 average with four home runs and 11 RBIs. Machado has feasted against lefties this season, and Saturday he’ll see yet another one he’s had success against, David Peterson.

Machado enters Saturday with a career .333 AVG vs. Peterson and a .346 season AVG vs. LHP. Machado has also excelled against Petersons top three pitches used against RHB. 

Saturday we’ll back the Padre captain to continue his red-hot month of July in front of his home crowd. Best of luck.
