Lindor was sensational in the last series against the Dodgers. He will look to continue that form against another good opponent in the Padres, and give his team a strong start.
Both these teams are evenly matched, but the Padres might edge this one out because they are certainly in the better form, as they are coming off after winning a big series against the Brewers.
Match Prediction: San Diego Padres to win the game.
