Result: Loss
The Padres have scored four or fewer runs in 15 of their last 18 games. They rank in the bottom-five in runs, batting average and homers. It's not just playing half of their games at Petco Park either. They are just a bad offensive team. The Under has cashed in 10 of their past 12 away games.
Now San Diego draws the Rangers' best pitcher, Cole Hamels. He has a 2.81 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in his last 10 starts. Hamels has gone six-plus innings, too, during his last eight starts. This means fewer innings for the vulnerable Texas bullpen to get involved.
The Under has cashed in 75 percent of Hamels last 21 starts going 15-5-1.
The Padres are pitching Joey Lucchesi. The rookie was showing some nice potential before going on the DL with a hip strain. He was not sharp in his return from the DL this past Wednesday. Expect better now that Lucchesi has knocked off some rust. The Rangers have never seen him.
Both pitchers should be aided by a wind that will be blowing in at 15-16 mph.
