Corey’s Free Pick
San Diego trotting a first-year pitcher to the mound may put some value on them heading into this game two contest, and it shouldn’t be overlooked. The Padres possess the most potent big three in baseball, and that itself, is trustworthy against a gritty Tigers team. Matt Manning has been solid, but the Pads have the bats to make any rookie pitcher uncomfortable. Manning may keep Detroit in this game early, but the talent gap may be all we need for a SD win. Back San Diego for this interleague battle.
