4* Money-Maker
(MLB) San Diego vs. LA Dodgers,
Money Line: 147.00 San Diego (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the PADRES here. Padres are going for it. They have some guys (Kemp, Upton, Meyers) who are looking to show teams they are not done. They just made a monster trade for the best reliever in baseball. They are playing the proverbial favorite, and big-bad, free-spending Dodgers. I like Greinke. But I right now, I think Ross is pitching very well out of spring training. He did 0-4 last year vs LAD. But he sported an ERA of 2.47. Now he actually has some major league level hitters as opposed to that terrible Padres offense of last year. He comes in out of spring after posting a 2.49 ERA, .203 BA against and a 1.11 WHIP striking out 25 in 21 innings. Greinke put up pedestrian numbers. Padres got to Kershaw for 3 yesterday. I don't think we will see Kelly in a late inning situation here giving up a 3 run bomb to an aging SS. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES
