Schule's 10* MLB Total Recall TERMINATOR - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Washington vs. San Diego, 05/17/2015 12:10 PM, Score: 10 - 5
Total: 7.50 | -130.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on WAS@SD to go OVER the total.

The Padres are used to playing low scoring games at PETCO, which is known to be the most notorious pitcher's park in all of baseball. That hasn't been the case lately, with 11 of their last 14 home games going over the total.

Stephen Strasburg will toe the slab for the visiting Nationals today, and he's one of the biggest name pitchers in the majors. His numbers don't live up to the hype this season, as he's 2-4 with a 6.06 ERA. He's been bothered by a shoulder injury, and he was rocked for eight runs on eight hits over just 3 1/3 innings in a loss at Arizona his last time out.

The Padres hand the ball to Ian Kennedy, who is also coming off a terrible performance. Kennedy (2-2, 5.92 ERA) was torched for five runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to Seattle his last time out. He owns a 7.11 ERA in three starts at PETCO this season, and he was just 6-6 with a 3.93 ERA in 17 starts in San Diego last year.

The Nationals bats have been on fire in recent weeks, and I don't like Kennedy's chances of slowing them down.

Take OVER.
