San Diego at New York

A good spot for the New York Mets to break out of their funk, playing their sixth straight home game. San Diego is 3,000 miles from home playing its sixth straight road game, part of an eight-game trip. The Padres are on a 1-5 run. The last two times they were favored they lost 7-3 and 6-2. That's what happens when you're stuck with the worst offense in baseball, 30th in runs and on base percentage, 29th in slugging. The team is 3-5 in San Diego starter Ian Kennedy's last eight starts, and he got pounded the last game giving up five runs in seven innings of a 5-2 loss at the punchless Philllies. San Diego is 21-34 against right-handed starters this season, so grab the home dog. Play the New York Mets.
