Kyle Freeland has been terrific this month overall, but he’s pitching at home, where he has a 5.55 ERA and .291 allowed batting average. Mike Clevinger has been a bit of a disaster this month and hasn’t been great on the road, but he is coming off a strong outing where he shutout the Cardinals in 5.2 innings. The bottom line here is the San Diego Padres are fighting for their playoff lives and should be the more motivated side. I’ll lay the juice.
