The PLAY: San Diego Padres 122 Action
What can it do to a pitcher's psyche to get out of Denver and Coors Field as your home park? We're about to find out with German Marquez, who makes his first Padres start tonight at Petco Park vs. the Giants after pitching ten seasons with Rockies...and living to tell about it!
More than a few onlookers believe Marquez could prove a steal for San Diego after being so shellshcoked in the Mile High City, bottoming out with a 3-16 mark and 6.70 ERA last season. Now, though, instead of pitching at 5280 feet, his home games are at sea level, and for what it's worth, he looked completely rejuvenated in the Cactus League at Peoria, especially in his final two starts, striking out 17 across just 9 2/3 IP.
The Giants did finally notch their first win for rah-rah new manager Tony Vitello last night, but it was a 3-2 grinder at Petco, which means SF has scored all of four runs across its first four games. Tuesday starter Logan Webb was hit hard in the opener last Wednesday vs. the Yankees and took the loss, allowing seven runs and nine hits in just 5 IP, and note he was winless in three starts (0-2 record) vs. the Padres last season, with a subpar 4.19 ERA. We use SD at +122 and invoke our ".10 rule" to stick with this Padre recommendation as long as the SD price doesn't drop beneath +112. Play Padres on Money Line
