Doesn't feel great to lay any chalk with a 1-4 rebuilding squad but for tomorrow I like it.
Note the trend of Woody's ERA since I've paid attention to him (i.e...when the Cards stole him for Ray Lankford in 2001). I also seem to recall him struggling in day games but don't have the numbers in front of me.
2001 St. Louis 2.28
2002 St. Louis 2.53
2003 St. Louis 3.83
2004 San Diego 4.18
2005 San Diego 4.83

Just to play devils advocate for a sec. It might do the Padres some good to get out of town for a while. Rockies really humiliated them. Today we have seen home teams playing tight in their home openers. T.B, Tigers, Pirates for example. Just don't see Marlins has having an edge tomorrow.
