The second 8* play of our DOUBLE DOG DESTRUCTION pass is on the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of their double header with Chicago.

Southpaw Drew Pomeranz has also been pitching extremely well for San Diego ane he gets the nod in Game 2. To cash one of these DOUBLE DOG DESTRUCTION packages, we just need to cash one of two, but we feel we have a very good shot at pulling off the two-game sweep. Pomeranz (3-3, 2.12 ERA) struck out five with three walks over five scoreless in a win over the Mets on Friday. His 2.12 ERA and 10.85 K/9 rate are numbers which contend with the best in the league. The home side counters with John Lackey (4-1, 4.02) who gave up two runs off six hits, walking one and striking out 11 over seven in an 8-6 win over the Nationals on Friday. Lackey has been consistently inconsistent this season, he has four solid starts, while getting shelled for six runs in each of his other two. We think Pomeranz can duel Lackey deep and the value is once again on the underdog PADRES.
