San Diego @ San Francisco picks

The Taiwanese right-hander is coming off a five-inning bulk-relief role on the 8th where he struck out four and allowed three hits. He had one start before that on five days of rest and also struck out four on just 67 pitches with four hits allowed. THE BAT is projecting a leash of 81 pitches today, but considering he is pitching on one fewer day of rest, 70 pitches is in the range of outcomes. It’s a getaway game for the Padres, so there is potential for some lazy ABs or perhaps a softer lineup. I wouldn’t play this much shorter than -110, but Oracle will help, and a possible four-inning outing on shorter rest. The best price might come closer to first pitch.
