SD is hitting .277 against left-handed pitching this season and the Padres have scored 109 runs versus southpaws so far this year. That ranks SD #1 in the National League currently. With their 7-4 win yesterday, San Diego has now won 5 of their last 8 games and they've averaged 6 runs per game during this stretch. I expect the Padres to enjoy success against Reds southpaw Cody Reed tonight. Though Reed struck out 9 at Houston in his MLB debut Saturday he did allow 4 earned runs in his 7 innings of work while giving up 2 homers. He now faces a lineup, unlike the Astros, that has thrived against left-handed pitching this season. Reed will be opposed by Colin Rea of the Padres. The San Diego right-hander is off of a strong start but previously gave up 9 earned runs in the less than 10 innings of work spanning his two prior outings. Lets take the OVER and look for the ball to be flying out tonight.
