6:10 Texas @ San Diego

Texas will be at San Diego for the second game of the series tonight.  Yesterday Texas was able to get the win in a lowing scoring game; 2 – 1.  Tonight could be a different story if things play out the way we see it happening.

The Texas side of the story is definitely going to be the key factor in this game.  The man of the night is going to be Scott Feldman.  On the year he has a 0 -6 record and a 6.50 ERA.  The sad thing is these stats don’t do justice to the year for Scott Feldman.  Since taking a starting role on May 14^th he has lost 6 consecutive appearances and supported a 7.36 ERA.  In those games the opposing team has scored on average 7.7 runs.  It seems that nothing is going right for Scott Feldman and we are hoping that continues tonight.

Edinson Volquez will be on the mound for the San Diego Padres.  On the season he has a 3 – 6 record and a 3.70 ERA.  He has been roughed up three times on the year, against Milwaukee and against the LA Dodgers twice.  In all of his other starts he has not given up over 3 earned runs.  Overall,  Edinson has done his part for the team on the year and we are expecting him to be able to keep in together tonight and pitch a decent game.

Tonight is all about trends.  We expect to see Scott Feldman keep up with that trend and at least give San Diego a chance to win the game late.  The value is there in this game and is the reason that this game is a play.

Projected score: Texas 4 – San Diego 6

Pick: Decent Play San Diego (+119)
