Clayton Richard may turn out to be a star for the San Diego Padres. He made 12 starts a year ago with the Padres winning nine of them. Jorge DeLaRosa turned into a very capable starter for the Rockies over the second half as well. The problem is that it was more the Rockies’ bats than his pitching. Despite winning three of his last four starts, the Rockies would of been 0-4 vs. a -1.5 runline. Richard has the ability to keep the Rockies’ bats silent, especially early in the season. The Padres have a nice run going back to last year where they are 13-3 following a loss and will be in this one. I'll go with San Diego on the runline.
