Padres vs Marlins MLB Player Prop Picks (Jul 22)

The San Diego Padres square off against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park to kick off their three-game series. Right-hander Michael King (7–5, 3.63 ERA) gets the nod for San Diego, while southpaw Braxton Garrett (3–3, 5.35 ERA) counters for Miami. The Padres are trying to build momentum in the NL Wild Card race, while the struggling Marlins are playing spoiler down the stretch.

• Padres enter having won 3 of their last 4, while the Marlins have dropped 5 of 6 and rank near the bottom in runs scored.
• Michael King brings elite strikeout upside and has gone six or more innings in four of his last five starts.
• San Diego is favored on the moneyline (-150), with the Over/Under set at 8.5 runs.

San Diego Padres Player Prop Pick: Fernando Tatis Jr.

Tatis Jr. is heating up again, launching a homer over the weekend and riding a five-game hit streak. Garrett’s struggles against righties (.316 BAA) make this a ripe opportunity for Tatis to produce extra-base power. His plate discipline and aggressive approach match up well against Miami’s starter.

• Five-game hit streak with 2 HR and 5 RBI over that span.
• Facing a lefty who’s allowed a .900+ OPS to right-handed bats.
• Tatis slugging .502 vs. LHP this season.

Miami Marlins Player Prop Pick: Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Chisholm remains one of the Marlins’ most dynamic offensive players and has quietly put together a productive July. With King’s occasional command lapses, Jazz’s combination of power and speed gives him value as a run producer or base stealer in a tight matchup.

• Six hits and 2 SB in his last five games.
• Slashing .280/.350/.460 in July.
• Leadoff threat with potential to reach and cause havoc.
