Bet Tonight’s Padres vs. Mets Game
From Rotoworld: Chacin pitched seven innings of one-run ball and struck out eight Wednesday against the Brewers. Chacin gave up nine runs on Opening Day. Since then, he’s sporting a 3.28 ERA in eight starts. He has no mixed-league value while pitching for the Padres, but a contender might want him if he keeps this up.
Harvey yielded three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings while taking a no-decision in Wednesday’s 11-inning loss to the Diamondbacks. Harvey’s control was all over the place in this one, as he walked four and threw just 61 of 95 pitches for strikes. Two of the three runs on his line scored when Jake Lamb socked a two-run home run off him in the third inning. It has been a trying season for the Dark Knight, who was suspended for three games by the team after failing to show at the ballpark earlier this month and now holds a rough 5.56 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through his first eight starts.
