Money Line: -103.00 San Diego (Away)
Result: Loss
San Diego at Miami 7:10 ET
Padres over Marlins- The storyline with the Miami Marlins would normally be about them reaching and getting above .500 for the first time since early April as they have won 11 of their last 14. But, the Marlins record is not the headline here, it is Giancarlo Stanton's power surge that has him ready to tie Willie Mays for most home runs (17) in the month of August. Miami will start former Padre Odrisamer Despaigne (0-1, 4.42 ERA) who was a starter for San Diego in 2014 and 2015 going 9-16 and is making his frst start after seven relief appearances. The Padres will start rookie Dinelson Lamet (7-5, 4.84) who is pitching to a 2.83 ERA in his last six outings as he makes his first career start against Miami. The surprise here is that...SAN DIEGO WINS!
