The best team in baseball, the San Francisco Giants, will try to avoid a sweep against the San Diego Padres when they send Johnny Cueto to the hill today at Petco Park. Cueto has been dominant. He is 13-1 with a 2.47 ERA and WHIP of 1.00. The Giants are 16-2 in Cueto’s last 18 starts and 9-0 in his last 9 road starts. Pomeranz was supposed to get the nod today for the Padres but they offed him to Boston. Why, I don’t know… So Edwin Jackson will start for the Padres. He is 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP. The Giants are 19-7 in their last 26 meetings with the Padres.
Today’s pick:
