Drew Pomeranz’ Dominance Has Equaled UNDERs

The San Diego Padres will send ace Drew Pomeranz to the mound to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday. Pomeranz has been wildly overlooked pitching for the hapless Padres, but his stellar 2.65 ERA has led to the UNDER cashing in 10 of his past 12 starts.

Shark Bites
  • The Padres are 4-11 in their past 15 games against the Dodgers.
  • The UNDER is 6-1 in the Dodgers’ past seven games with a closing total of 7.0 or less.
  • Yasiel Puig is batting .333 in his 15 games since returning from the DL.

Pomeranz has only allowed opposing batters to hit .191 this season – the fourth-best mark in the MLB. The lefty has been especially strong when pitching under the lights, as Pomeranz has a 1.98 ERA in 10 night starts this season.

The Dodgers will counter with Hyun-Jin Ryu – who has not pitched on a major league mound since the 2014 playoffs. Ryu has been rehabbing from a shoulder surgery he underwent over a year ago now. The southpaw has a 4.23 ERA in eight rehab starts between Single-A and Triple-A this season.
