The Padres will have to take advantage of the schedule when it favors them because the Dodgers don’t figure to slump too much, no matter where they play. That is why this series sets up nicely for San Diego, which lost the last two at the Cubs. On Friday at Petco Park, San Diego gets the other team from the Windy City, the White Sox.
Having been baseball doormats in recent years, the ChiSox are actually playing decent ball for them. The big bat that will have to be contained is Munetaka Murakami, who comes into Friday with 12 home runs and 23 RBIs. The scheduled matchup of Noah Schultz vs. German Marquez is interesting, as the former has been impressive in three starts. Give the road team a look when it comes to bet on the MLB odds.
