St. Louis at San Diego

San Diego has won four of Clayton Richard's last five starts, including a win over the Dodgers on Saturday when he allowed three runs in six innings. The left-hander had a 3.21 ERA in August for his best month of the season and the Padres have won four of Richard's last five starts against St. Louis. The Cardinals have lost Lance Lynn's last four starts and eight of his last 11 road outings. Lynn has faced San Diego once this year and gave up four runs on six hits in six innings. The Cardinals still are under .500 on the road while the Padres are 38-35 at home. San Diego has won five of its last seven games after losing the first three games of a series. Look for that trend to continue, so take the Padres.
