Point Spread: 1.50 | -155.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Win
Play: San Diego Padres +1.5
Rating: 8/10*

The San Diego Padres are riding a three-game winning streak after claiming the opener of this three-game series 3-2 on Friday. The slumping Pittsburgh Pirates have dropped five of their last six.

The Padres hand the ball to Dinelson Lamet (4-4, 5.92 ERA) who held the Giants to two runs through 6 2/3 innings his last time out. Lamet has delivered his best stuff at home this season, and his 68 Ks through 51 2/3 innings of work overall on the season is an impressive number.

The Pirates turn to Ivan Nova (10-7, 3.62 ERA who much like Lamet is far better at home than on the road. Nova is 3-5 with a 4.24 ERA in 11 road starts on the season and he was knocked around for seven runs on nine hits in five innings of a 13-3 loss at Coors Field his last start.

Great price on the Padres +1.5 runs IMO.
