Bet Tonight’s Padres vs. Dodgers Game
SAN DIEGO: Richard pitched very well in his last outing, earning a victory over the Marlins last Saturday. He allowed eight hits and walked just one batter over seven scoreless innings of work. He also struck out three and now owns a 3.51 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP on the season.
LOS ANGELES: Tonight could be Urias final turn through the rotation before he’s moved back into the Dodgers’ bullpen. The 20-year-old has pitched a total of 108 innings this year between Triple-A Oklahoma City and the big-leagues after throwing 80 1/3 innings last year in the minors. The youngster has been dominant, owning a 0.92 ERA over his last four starts.
