Detailed Write Up:

The Padres have been probably the most underrated team in this second half of season. We’ve won our play yesterday @ARI, and I’m going to play them today as well.

They will send LHP Eric Stults to the mound and Stults (like their offense) has been terrific lately! His 3.30 FIP & 3.94 xFIP numbers during this month (4 starts) are decent and please note that 3 of thos starts were against decent offensive team batting vs. LHP’s: ATL ranked #4, STL #10 & LAD #15, still he was decent in every game!

On the other end, MIL’s SP Kyle Lohse returns to action after dealing w/ a bad ankle. He is clearly struggling lately w/ 5.07 FIP & 5.07 xFIP in this second half and this Padres’ offense aren’t anymore a dreadful unit – I have them being ranked #4 in this second half of season! Having the chance to get SD @ plus money at home is a valuable proposition for me!
