This is a 1* Free Play on the San Diego Padres.

We had a play on the Padres last night and we think the home side offers fantastic value in this matchup as well. The visitors turn to Jose Urena (0-7, 4.69 ERA) who most recently was shelled for four runs off five hits over six innings in a loss to the Nationals on Friday. Note that Urena has been at his worst on the road as well this season with an 0-1, 6.06 ERA. The home side goes with Clayton Richard (3-6, 4.97) who gave up four runs off four hits while striking out four over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday. Richard though had looked pretty good before this "dud," posting three straight quality starts and striking out 20 with just one walk spanning 23.1 innings. Also note that Miami is just 3-7 (-2.4 units) as a road dog in the +125 to +175 range this season, while San Diego is 16-5 (+9.4 units) in its last 21 as a home fav in the -125 to -175 range. Consider the FRIARS on Wednesday night.
