THE DUKE SPORTS
San Diego (-130) for 2 Units
The Padres haven't lost a series in a while and shouldn't here: after all, they're 6-0 after losing their first 2 games of a series. We like the pitching matchup. Jon Garland has been red hot while his counterpart Manny Parra has been struggling. Garland controls a 0.90 ERA over his last 3 starts and hasn't allowed a run over his last 17 innings pitched. He is 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA in 3 starts vs Milwaukee. He also sports a strong 2.94 ERA during daytime action. On the other hand, Parra sports a bloated 5.06 ERA over his last 3 starts, controls a lofty 5.91 ERA in two starts vs SD, and has not fared well in daytime action (6.99 ERA). The Padres are a sweet 14-3 as a road favorite in this price range, 4-0 with Garland on Sunday, and 5-1 with him in game 3 of a series. SD the call
