No Hassles, No Hype Sports Picks

The surprising, and yes I say surprising Padres, as they enter tonight’s National League West game against the San Francisco tied with the Giants with identical 8 – 6 records. The Padres have now won 5 straight games. What’s not surprising is SD ranks just 21st in team hitting and SF is second in the league in pitching with a team 2.98 ERA. What is surprising is SD is 3rd in league pitching with a team ER of 3.02 and SF is 4th in league hitting with a team batting average of .277. Tonight’s starter for San Diego is Jon Garland has pitched consistently well in his first three starts of his season.
