Pick Result: SDP (-165) ML - LOSS
Padres didn't hit tonight and lost the opener 2-1. I feel like it says a lot about the Padres offense. Matthew Liberatore limited them to three hits and one earned run over six innings tonight. Liberatore has been good for 10.25 H/9 this season and tonight he shut the Padres down to 4.25 H/9. Its a stark contrast. You could say it was an off night for San Diego's bats.
Michael King pitched a great game. Six innings of one-hit baseball. He only allowed one earned and gets a no-decision tonight.
Bradgley Rodriguez takes the loss out of the Padres' bullpen. He didn't have a bad outing, he struck out a pair, didn't walk any batters and stranded a runner in scoring position but he did give up the winning run on a triple off the bat of Cardinals' shortstop Masyn Wynn. Keeping Wynn from scoring with only one out was a nice effort.
Cardinals bullpen locked it down. They have a good 7,8,9 with Soriano, Romero and O'Brien and tonight the bullpen held. O'Brien picks up his 11th save of the season.

Another loss tonight. I feel like my picks have been good. I am extra ting some real good advantages from the numbers. The games haven't gone my way. That's the way it goes. No pick is ever 100% if your playing the game straight.
I have been posting the game times incorrectly all preseason. I had the timezone settings set to "Central America" instead of "Central Standard". I corrected the error and the game times should be accurate moving forward.
I am also eliminating the nightly recap project. It is too difficult for me to post late at night in my current station.
Preseason at least until next Friday night. Stay Tuned.
