Locked on Padres Host Javier Reyes Joins us as we preview the series between the Padres and A’s.

The A’s are riding high after taking two of three in Colorado—yes, even Coors Field couldn’t slow down this team’s momentum. Now, they technically return home, though the vibe still feels more like a road trip with better laundry access. Waiting for them? One of baseball’s most stacked squads: the San Diego Padres. Loaded with star power and payroll, the Padres are a measuring stick for anyone trying to prove they belong. So we brought in a guest who knows them inside and out—Javier Reyes, host of Locked On Padres—for a coast-to-coast showdown of insight and smack talk.

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down what to expect in this upcoming series, from key matchups to which team has more to prove. Can the Green and Gold keep their bats hot and make another statement against a National League powerhouse? Or will the Padres’ star-studded lineup put the brakes on the A’s momentum? Either way, it’s a heavyweight clash with real litmus test energy, and we’ve got you covered from first pitch to final out.
