This is a 10* play on STL@SD to go OVER the total.

Over the last few years, we've come to think of San Diego's PETCO Park as one of the most pitcher friendly in the majors. That's quickly becoming a myth here in 2015. . According to ESPN Park Factors, PETCO ranks 8th in total home runs right behind the legendary Coors Field. The Padres hit three home runs in a 9-3 win over the Cardinals last night.

Carlos Martinez will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's coming off a poor performance. Martinez (12-5, 2.78 ERA) allowed five runs on seven hits over just five innings in a home loss to Miami his last time out. The Padres have really hammered him, batting a combined .432 over 37 at bats.

The Padres hand the ball to Ian Kennedy, who is coming off a loss at Colorado. Kennedy (7-11, 4.20 ERA) allowed four runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 5-0 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field. He's 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA against the Cardinals this season.

San Diego is trending over at a rate of 17-5 in their last 22 overall.

Take OVER.
