Guaranteed Pick: Scott Spreitzer

Game: San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants Apr 22 2009 3:45PM
Prediction: San Diego Padres
Reason: I'm playing the Padres with Young over Zito. After his latest loss and poor performance, Barry Zito said he was "in the right place, but things weren't breaking his way." WHAT!? The bottom line is that Zito hasn't found the "goods" that led to his huge "payday" when he crossed the bay. Meanwhile, Chris Young has been an outstanding daytime pitcher, especially away from home. He's 13-3 lifetime in this situation with a 3.00 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and ridiculous .195 BAA. He sports a career 3.57 ERA against the Giants, and owns a 22-11 overall record in road outings. Add in SFO's anemic hitting and we have a solid BLOCKBUSTER BLOWOUT release on the Padres. Look for San Diego to get right back in the win column with a daytime winner on Wednesday. Thanks! GL! Scott.
