We have a line set here of 7. First off for Az, you have Rodrigo Lopez on the mound, who has been one of the biggest gas cans out there this year. He's given up 30 HRs on the year and has had very little success against SD as well as the Padres are hitting 327 against him. Both games he faced SD this year have gone over.
On the other hand, you have Richard going for the Padres. Granted, he has been good of late giving up 1 and 2 runs in his last 2 road starts against the Giants and the Cubs. However, Richard has had even less success getting the Dbacks out than Lopez' numbers against SD. The Dbacks are hitting 390 lifetime avg against Richard and both games he has faced Az, the total has gone over. I got to believe if this game was in Az, the total would be at least 9. Is Petco worth 2 runs in a total?
