The Padres have start to hit, and that's why we see the line where it is, but I'm still not sold on this team especially on the road. They go up against the always under rated Mike Leake who has pitched well against the Padres comibning for an ERA in the 3's, but last year he gave up just 1 ER in 2 starts. Leake is also on 5 days rest in this spot and the Padres are 30th in OPS vs. RHP, and 30th in OPS on the road. They score just 1.89 runs per 9 vs. RHP on the road and are hitting .192. The Reds double that run production at home and now their bullpen is also gotten a jolt with the return of Chapman.

Andrew Cashner will make a start for the Padres and he's really done a 180 the last few starts after a strong season start.. He still posts a 1.67 ERA at home, but a 5.00 on the road which is nothing new when looking at his last 3 years of production he posted a ERA that was 1.37 higher on the road than at home. The Padres are also 1-5 in their last 6 visits to Cinci and 2-8 in their last 10 games with Cashner as a dog.
