Los Angeles at San Diego

The soft-hitting San Diego Padres should get a boost as they plated 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth last night to take the series opener in walk-off fashion vs. the Dodgers. The Dodgers continue to under-achieve, and last night's loss is just the latest of a season full of disappointment for the game's highest payroll. Josh Beckett had his moment in the sun this season, spinning a no-hitter, but he has dropped three of his last four starts. Since winning 99 games over a seven season stretch, Beckett has won just 11 times over the last three campaigns. Tyson Ross is 6-6 for a team well below .500 as he has pitched to an admirable 3.27 ERA on the season. The Dodgers are a woeful 6-15 behind Beckett when he starts on grass, and 1-9 in his last 10 starts in the division. Make the play on San Diego.
