San Diego Padres MLB Props for Wednesday 5/8/2024

Manny Machado - Total Bases Over 1.5 (+110)

Manny Machado has 54 total bases which is fourth on the San Diego Padres. Machado has 24 singles, 5 doubles and 5 home runs for a total of 34 hits, with a .258 batting average. Machado has had two total bases or more in five of the last 15 games he has played for the Padres, but of late has had two or more TBs in three of the last five games and that is why we are confident Machado has two or more total bases on Wednesday.

Dylan Cease - Strikeouts Over 7.5 (-125)

Dylan Cease will be on the mound for San Diego on Wednesday and the right-hander this season is 4-2 with an ERA of 2.55. Cease has 48 strikeouts on the season and has had eight strikeouts in three of the last four starts and has had seven strikeouts or more in six of the last seven starts. We are confident that Cease will pitch well on Wednesday versus Chicago and surpass the Over 7.5 threshold for strikeouts.
