This is an 8* UNDERDOG DESTRUCTION on the San Diego Padres.
Trevor Story has been quite the story in Colorado, but we think the rookie comes back down to earth today and the determined Padres find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. Colorado won two of three in Arizona to open the season, while San Diego lost all three to the Dodgers, getting shutout in the series. Sometimes we feel its necessary to completely dissect a contest, looking at trends, motivation and scheduling etc, but other times we feel a more "common sense" approach is the best way to handicap a game and that's definitely the case in this matchup. Note that MLB teams coming off three straight shutouts have gone 6-3 +3.2 units since 2005. Colorado trots out right-hander Jordan Lyles, who missed a big chunk of last season with a toe injury. The visitors counter with Colin Rea, who did get one inning under his belt already this year in Monday's 15-0 loss to LA. Friars' rookie manager Andy Green summed it up best: "There is still perspective here, not to be lost," Green assessed Wednesday after his team was outscored 25-0 in the three-game series. "We still do have 159 games left and we will score runs this year." We'll call the starters a "wash," but feel this sets up as a classic letdown spot for the home side, while the visitors will be playing desperate. Play on SAN DIEGO.
