The San Diego Padres have lost 3 straight but should get back on track tonight for two reasons. They are hosting the Cincinnati Reds and will have the young phenom on the hill, Chris Paddack. Paddack has yet to get a decision, at 0-0, but the Padres have won all of his 3 starts and his stuff has been nasty. He has a 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP in 14 innings of work. The Reds were just swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and are winless on the road at 0-7. Tanner Roark will get the nod for the Reds and he has been mediocre at best. Roark is 0-0, with a 4.30 ERA, a 1.70 WHIP, and the Reds are just 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Petco Park. The Friars end their skid.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES
