Game: Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres

Analysis:
The Los Angeles Dodgers open the 2009 campaign on the road at the Padres on Monday night. The Dodgers will send right-hander Hiroki Kuroda to the bump with his 2-1 SU record against the Padres. Kuroda has a winning record versus the Padres but his ERA is 5.66 with a WHIP of 1.646 in most cases that would mean a losing record but these two teams score when they get together. Hiroki had a 3.59 ERA on the season in 2008 and the Dodgers bullpen had an ERA of 4.14 when playing on the highway. San Diego will send ace right-hander Jake Peavy to the hill with his 13-1 SU record versus this Dodgers team. Even though his ERA against the Dodgers is a very respectable 2.32 and a WHIP of 1.012 they have gone over in his starts at a rate of 12-10 in his career. Peavy ended last season with an ERA of 4.05 and a WHIP of 1.500 in his last three trips to the bump and had a record of 1-2 in those three starts. Last season the Padres bullpen had an ERA of 4.09 when playing at home. This series has seen 22 of 35 meetings go over the posted total the last three seasons and 9 of 17 over when playing in San Diego. Our TPR (Team Performance Ratings) Index projects the total number of runs scored to be 7.89 in tonights matchup so play the over here as these two teams get off to a quick start with their bats and send this game well over the posted total.
