Anyone got a read on this game now that Latos is out?
Padilla is 0-1 with a 8.something ERA in 1 start there. He currently has a 6.22 road ERA. Meanwhile Stauffer has a career 4 game starts vs the Dodgers going 2-2 with a 3.61 ERA. However both of those loses came in 2005 and the wins came in 2006 and 2009, so cannot really rely on that sample pool. However this season Stauffer faced the Dodgers in relief twice, pitching 1.2 innings with a 0 era.
At PetCo Park, Stauffer holds a career 4-9 record there in 14 starts with a 3.87 era. For 2010 Stauffer holds a 1-2 record with a 3.10 era in 11 appearances. He has tossed 20.1innings there.
My only advice is dont pick the Padres based on the fact that they are DUE for a win. This theory has nipped me in the a$$ for years, and rarely seems to work.
