Dinelson Lamet has tremendous stuff and he's just rounding into form after a long layoff following Tommy John surgery. This is a good spot for him. Look for a strong outing by Lamet, who has 14 strikeouts in his two starts this season, and lay it.

Caleb Smith is 5-4 with a 3.46 ERA and in his first start back from the IL he went six innings giving up two runs. At home, he is 4-1 with a 2.04 ERA. Dinelson Lamet is 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA in two starts since returning from TJ surgery. He has given up seven earned runs in 10 IP. The Padres are only 7-7 as the road favorite, and they have yet to win with Lamet starting.

Thursday the Padres find themselves in the earliest time slot of any MLB matchup. They round out their road series against the Marlins after yesterday's narrow 3-2 victory. On the mound will be winless pitcher Dinelson Lamet who has just two starts on the season. Look for Lamet to settle in a bit against a Marlins team that has struggled to be consistent from a runs standpoint all season. Ending a four-game losing streak Thursday leaned heavily on the Padres pitching staff. Look for the Padres' bats to be the main weapon Thursday. Grab San Diego.
