The Dbacks are now 5 games back of wild card spot and Kelly is coming off a off a 7 inning 3 hit shutout and therefore he likely has a letdown spot today. Kelly has a 5.89 ERA on the road vs 3.22 ERA at home and 2-1 5.03 ERA in 4 starts vs Padres, whereas Lauer 1-2 is 4.24 ERA in 3 starts vs Dbacks this year, 3.08 ERA at home. Lastly the Padres are 14-5 in Lauers last 19 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
Lets back the SD Padres here Friday night.
