The San Diego Padres have been good this season but they can still do better as they continue working hard to remain in the playoff spot. In the opener of this series, this team could not equal the runs of the Detroit Tigers despite scoring in the first two innings.

In that run, the San Diego Padres could only avoid a sweeping loss against the Houston Astros, thanks to a 2-3 win in the finale. Ahead of this game, this team sits third in the National League standings with a 16-7 record and 0.696 PCT.

Detroit Tigers vs San Diego Padres Prediction 22 April 2025

These are two teams that are playing so well and delivering quality play and much is expected from them. However, while the Detroit Tigers have done well to take the lead in the opener of this game, it is clear the San Diego Padres will do well to step up their game and this makes this one even a very competitive fixture. While the two teams have been winning games, playing well and dominating, it is difficult to confidently write either team off. However, while I believe the San Diego Padres will even this series, I will back them to win.

Also, considering how the opener of this game ended, I believe this will be another game where we could witness the hunger and desire for a win. With the Detroit Tigers scoring six runs in the opener coming in the early innings, I do not see them being stopped offensively. Hence, a bet on runs is the primary option.

Our match prediction: is over 7 runs with odds at 1.74 on the 1XBet bookmaker.

Our betting tip: is a moneyline victory for the San Diego Padres with odds at 1.90 on Bet365.
