Result: Win
Play: San Diego Padres
Rating: 8*
The San Diego Padres sit dead last in the NL West, but they've started to make some noise lately winning five of their past six games while averaging 7.5 runs per game during that stretch. They're off back-to-back wins against the Cincinnati Reds, and I like them to set themselves up to sweep the series tomorrow with a win here on Saturday.
Drew Pomeranz (6-7, 3.00 ERA) takes the ball for the Padres. He owns a 2.61 ERA in two career starts versus the Reds. He has eight quality starts this season and has held opponents to a .195 batting average. The left-hander held the Nats to three runs with seven Ks in six innings of a 6-3 win his last time out. Very few Cincinnati hitters have any experience against Pomeranz, and the Reds .311 on base percentage against southpaws ranks among the worst marks across the majors.
The Reds turn to a left-hander as well as Brandon Finnegan (3-5, 3.81) takes the bump for the visitors. He gave up four runs on five hits and three walks in five innings of a 6-0 loss at Houston his last start. The Reds have won just four of his 15 starts this year and we can note that the Padres' .345 on base percentage and .281 batting average versus southpaws both ranks among the best in the majors.
Padres are 8-3 in their last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter. Reds are 8-24 in their last 32 games vs. a left-handed starter. Padres are 9-2 in the last 11 head-to-head meetings.
