What a stupid afternoon. Could have gone 0-3 or 3-0. The word "bullpen" has officially been banned in mi casa (Snoopy is upset). Might try a week where I only do F5 ML favorites and not worry about relievers. Always wanted to try that. The Yankees I'm gonna have to write about soon if things don't change because that might be the worst bullpen I've seen in years ... I digress. San Diego's Fernando Tatis Jr. is in the lineup after hosing us Wednesday in a surprise sit. Seattle's Luis Castillo has been a fine pitcher for years but has been raked in his past two. Wonder if he's healthy? Probably many Padres ML plays out there but I think this is a not-bad number.

San Diego has won seven straight, many of which has come with ninth-inning dramatics. The Padres can’t live on that alone – and may not need to here. Mariners RHP Luis Castillo has allowed 11 runs his last two starts, and the Pads have a .772 OPS vs. right-handers the last couple weeks. Walker Buehler will only go 70 pitches before giving way to a solid bullpen 2.76 ERA L15 days). Sounds like a good spot to back plus odds.
