The Padres are now 13-34 in their last 47 on the road, so the low number here certainly has some merit on the A's. The Padres send out Anthony Bass, who has been bad, yielding 19 earned runs in his last 21 innings of work, so the A's should be able to generate a big inning or two. The Padres have really struggled vs. left-hand pitching which has left them a 14-40 in their last 54 when facing one. The A's have been super as an interleague favorite where they are now a 93-45 in their last 138.
