The Angels will go with Joe Saunders against the Padres in this one. Saunders has had his ups and downs this season, but when he faces losing teams with weak lineups, he has excelled. Against good teams, Saunders has a 9.09 ERA. But against teams with a losing record this season, has pitched to a 1.47 ERA in seven starts and the Angels are 6-1 in those games! The Angels have out-scored the seven weak opponents in Saunders starts by 30-12. The Padres bring just a 9-21 road mark into this one, and are just 23-63 in their last 86 as a road dog, and just 1-10 in their last 11 interleague games as a road dog. They have laid the goose-egg in Geer's last six starts on the road. Too much value here to let pass by, and I'll go with the Angels in this one.
