J. Peavy is the man...not a bad call at home...daylight versus night have any affect on the play?

Day versus night had a slight affect as the Padres are 3-0 in daylight, but the Diamondbacks are 3-1 and 6-2 on the road. Peavy is a shutdown pitcher giving up 2 earned runs so far this year. While Hernandez has started the season well also, don't believe he can hold the Padres under 3 runs. His 3 starts were against Colorado twice and Washington. He walked 6 in 6 innings last out. Bullpen, if necessary, favors Padres.

Hey Ted, I know the game has gone off. But -1.5 is risky here.. This could be a close one.. IMO... These two teams will battle....

Appreciate your concern, but it's looking pretty good right now at 7-0 in the top of the 4th.
