Petco Park Not So Pitcher Friendly, OVERs Red-Hot In San Diego
Petco Park has a reputation of being a pitcher-friendly park, but that has not been the case recently. The OVER has hit in each of the past seven games at Petco Park with the San Diego Padres and their opponents averaging a combined 12.7 runs per game in that span. Will that trend continue when the Padres kick off a three-game set with the New York Yankees Friday?
Nathan Eovaldi has been hard to watch this season for Yankees’ fans, but it has somehow gotten worse over the past month. Eovaldi has gone 0-3 with an 8.65 ERA while allowing 10 home runs in his five starts since the start of June.
Colin Rea has not been having much of a better season – with the righty posting a 5.05 ERA on the year – but has been given some stellar run support. Rea has received 6.3 runs of support per game in his starts – the fifth-highest of any starter who has taken the bump at least 10 times.
