Result: Win
The set-up: The Padres and Phillies were rained out yesterday and because of that, they'll play a double-header on Sunday. We're focusing on the second game, as I expect the home side to have the upper-hand in this particular matchup. The visitors go with Luis Perdomo, while the home side goes with Vince Velasquez.
The pitchers: Perdomo is so far just 1-4 with a 7.55 ERA. Perdomo has been a disaster in his limited time for the Padres this season, having to deal with injury issues.
Velasquez is so far 5-8 with a 4.39 ERA. He finished the first half with a strong start against the Mets, scattering two hits over six scoreless innings, unfortunate to receive a no-decision for his effort. While his ERA isn't the best, note that he does own an impressive 110:35 K/BB over 94.1 innings so far this season.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but San Diego is a terrible 28-43 (-7.5 units) this season in all "night" games, while Philly is 34-27 (+7.3 units) in all "night" contests. I think Perdomo struggles after his scheduled start was delayed and I think Velasquez can take advantage. Lay the price with confidence, play on the Phillies in Game 2.
