I think we're getting good value on the San Diego Padres to win as an underdog home at Petco Park tonight. Sure, Dodgers' right-hander Ross Stripling (2-0, 2.92 ERA) has good stuff, but Padres' Garrett Richards (0-0, 3.38 ERA) ain't easy to get hits off either. On the season, Richards has 12 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings and he is 1-0 with a 1.78 ERA and 30 Ks over 30 1/3 career innings against the Dodgers. Against the Padres, Stripling is 4-5 with a 3.57 ERA. I think the dog will bark in this one.

8* play on San Diego Padres.
