Are bettors onto something when it comes to riding the Padres hype train?
FOX Sports MLB writer Deesha Thosar certainly believes their recent moves have enhanced the roster.
“The headline-grabbing move in a bustling trade deadline day for the Padres was the addition of Mason Miller,” Thosar wrote. “But addressing some of their biggest question marks at DH and left field was a huge success for San Diego. A.J. Preller landed Laureano, who’s enjoying the best season of his career, and O’Hearn, a pure rental piece, from the Orioles.
“Both O’Hearn and Laureano provide necessary upgrades in San Diego’s lineup.”
FOX Sports MLB writer Rowan Kavner, however, thinks Los Angeles is still standing in San Diego’s way.
“The Mets, Phillies and Padres are all much better positioned now to make a run in the National League,” Kavner noted. “Still, I don’t think any of them have dethroned the reigning champs [Dodgers] كفريق للفوز “.
