The Giants didn't score on Opening Day. I'm not expecting an explosion Friday. Padres starter Joey Lucchesi allowed four runs over 11 innings in his rookie year against San Fran, with 17 strikeouts and one walk. Derek Holland has not been successful against the Padres, with a 6.23 ERA in six appearances against them. San Diego survived Madison Bumgarner on Thursday and now faces a lesser left-handed pitcher.
I'm backing this young but talented SD Padres team.
