- Analysis
- The second pick of my STP (an 8*) is on the PADRES on the run line.
I say the starting pitching matchup in this one is so lop-sidedly in favor of the home side, that I'm going to suggest laying the 1.5 runs for near pick-em price.
The visitors go with Corbin Martin (0-2, 8.62 ERA) who is being used out of necessity here. Out of his four big league appearances, two have been starts.
The Padres counter with Chris Paddack (4-5, 4.10), who is coming off his best start of the season, allowing two runs and striking out 11 over five innings in a victory over the hard-hitting Red Sox.
Recent form is an important factor that I always take into account when assessing starting pitchers and in this case, I love Paddack to build off his last performance.
I expect San Diego to win big in this one. The play is the Padres on the run line.
Good luck...Larry
