San Diego Padres (150) MLB Odds - Wed September 17th ‘08 3:05p
It is obvious that the Colorado Rockies will not make another miracle World Series run this year, and their starter Jeff Francis has had trouble with their opponent today, the San Diego Padres, so it looks like the Pads hold some value at this nice price. Now granted, Francis has actually pitcher very well lately with a 2.79 ERA in his last three starts. However, the Rockies went 0-3 in those starts, due mainly to an inept offense that is not getting any better. Colorado is batting just .236 as a team over the last10 games, and considering that the Rockies are just 4-9 the last 13 times that Francis has faced the Padres, we do not expect him to get enough run support today either. Now young Josh Greer has given a fine account of himself in his first three major league starts for San Diego, allowing exactly two runs in each of those outings. He is coming off of his first career Quality Start, as he worked seven innings vs. the Giants, and he did face these Rockies in his major league debut, allowing five hits while posting five strikeouts in five innings. Finally, the Padres have picked things up offensively lately after being dormant all year, as they are batting .291 as a team the last 10 games. Look for them to score enough runs to pull the upset.
