The Padres are inching closer to a playoff berth, and that should continue here with King on the mound, who has allowed 38 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 49.2 innings. The Rockies stink, and Gordon doesn’t make anything better with his 5.55 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. At home through 53 innings, Gordon has a 7.48 ERA and a .323 allowed batting average. Yuck. The fact that this price is somewhat reasonable is surprising. Give me the Padres.
