Though Tommy Hanson has struggled during day starts this year and I considered backing the Padres there is no way possible you can do that the way they have been hitting. Padres do play a bit better during the day, but there is no way I can back that with just a 10 game sample. Would not be shocked to see them pull this off this is game #10 of Atlantaâs west coast swing playing a day game after a night game itâs not easy stuff when you arenât in your time zone. Matt Latos makes the start for the Braves and has struggled big time, but he has a good history vs. the Braves and the Braves bats have been awful during day games with a .225 average and .643 OPS and they are 5-6. Good for the Braves is that their pitching has kept them in those games with a 3.59 ERA during day games while San Diego is #3 in the league with a 2.93 ERA during day games. One thing has not changed since last year for the Padres is that their bullpen continues to be dominant. Can Latos bridge that gap today? I think so he had a 2.59 ERA at home last year and a 2.40 ERA during day starts.. Iâll fade Latos hard on the raod but in this ball park and during the day games where he can catch the visiting team napping I think he goes and throws out a quality start which is all heâll need to do to keep this game under the total the way the Padres hitters have been hitting.
