San Diego at Pittsburgh

Both these teams have been better on the road than at home and San Diego gets to go with their ace, Mat Latos. Latos got off to a rough start to the season, but he has been in a groove, showcasing last year’s ace form with a 3.44 ERA in his last three starts.  He has struck out 20 with just six walks in those  last three starts. The Padres are 5-0 in their last five road games against a team with a losing record. He faces a terrible Pittsburgh offense, one that is 25th in runs, 23rd in on-base percentage and 27th in slugging. The Pirates have a better road record than home mark, just 26-31 at home and go with Kevin Correia, who has been in a funk with an 11.08 ERA his last three starts. Throw in a 4.71 ERA for the season and he’s been weak since opening day. The Pirates are 3-14 in their last 17 overall and 0-7 in their last seven games vs. a right-handed starter. Play the Padres!
