6* Padres (BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT)

This pick starts and ends with the starting pitchers for us, as we feel that Dylan Cease and the visitors should/could in fact be a lot larger favorites in this particular matchup throwing opposite the erratic Patrick Corbin. Cease (9-8, 3.76 ERA) comes in off one the best starts of his entire career, allowing one hit, one walk, no runs and ten K's over seven innings in a win over the hard-hitting Guardians on Saturday. In three of his last five starts Cease has now allowed just a single hit. Corbin (2-9, 5.35), is actually alos coming off a great start vs. the Cubs, allowing one run over six innings in the eventual victory. Let's not overreact though, as it was Corbin's first win since early May. Corbin's inconsistencies will once again be an issue here for the home side, as all signs point to Cease and the visitors rolling to victory in this Thursday get-a-way game; lay the price with confidence, the play is indeed on San Diego!
