The San Diego Padres have been either really good or really bad. And as a young team, they are molded to a great extent of what is going on in the moment. That is depicted by a solid 35-25 run, as well as the fact that the run is surrounded by a 5-15 start, and a seven-game slide coming in. So around the 35-25 is a nasty 5-22. Stephen Strasburg gets most of the ink in Washington, but quietly Jordan Zimmermann has been the best Nationals' pitcher with a league-high 12 wins. The Nationals are 10-0 this season when he starts at home extending them to 13-0 going back to the end of last year. His home ERA on the season is 1.50, and in their seven-game losing streak, the Padres have scored more than 2 runs in just one of them. Steep mountain to climb for San Diego, so play on Washington.
