San Diego plays well at home, especially on Sunday when there is a big military crowd from the naval base. It also helps to have Odrisamer Despaigne (1.35 ERA) on the mound, a terrific arm from Cuba. New York is 3,000 miles from home, and the Mets are 5-13 in their last 18 road games vs. a right-handed starter. New York is 1-5 on the road, and the Mets are 0-4 in Dan Wheeler's last four starts against the National League West. Wheeler (5-8) doesn't get much help from an offense ranked 17th in runs and 28th in slugging. San Diego won 6-0 yesterday over this team, so grab the home team at this price again. Play the Padres.
