Stitches likes the Padres in San Francisco
A wild card chase, a rookie who has been hard to hit, and a starter on a 19 inning shutout run.
In brief
A wild card chase, a rookie who has been hard to hit, and a starter on a 19 inning shutout run. Michael King's scoreless streak is why the pick is San Diego at -166, even against a rookie who has been sharp. Originally reported by New York Post.
A reader hates baseball
Steve from Vero finally got to watch Jake deGrom start, then saw him pulled. He says he almost broke his TV.
“My first thought was fire the manager. I really hate baseball!”
Pull an un-hittable pitcher, get fired
Stitches agrees with Steve. His fix for the Rangers is to dump Skip Schumaker and bring in Herm Edwards.
“You Play to Win the Game”
One team still has stakes
San Diego is alive in the National League wild card race. San Francisco fans have already switched over to the 49ers.
“Fans in Frisco already have moved on to the 49ers.”
The rookie has been sharp
Giants rookie Cesar Perdomo has thrown 10 innings across two starts and given up a single run.
King has not allowed a run
Michael King has won his last two starts and has gone 19 innings without giving up a run.
The bet
Take $50 on the Padres at -166 on DraftKings. The bankroll sits at -234 bartolocolons after the Nationals rally beat the Angels 4-3.
