5-unit Play Take #962 San Diego Padres (-155) over Los Angeles Dodgers (4:10pm ET) One of the keys to finding value in the betting market is identifying good young pitchers who are off the radar screen. Andrew Cashner of the San Diego Padres is one of those guys, as he's just starting to get some respect but not yet tagged as a good pitcher. The right-hander comes in at 5-3 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, but his stuff is what excites me most. He throws in the mid-to-high nineties routinely and has very good control for a 26-year old with just 2.4 walks per nine innings. The last couple of seasons he was focused on racking up tons of strikeouts, but this season he is learning how to pitch more efficiently and be a more complete pitcher. Today he'll go up against a depleted Los Angeles Dodgers lineup that is without Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford. It hasn't been pretty in LA this season, and the team morale is probably close to a season low right now at just 31-42. Chris Capuano goes to the mound for the Dodgers today. The southpaw is coming back on just three days' rest today, so there's no telling how effective he's going to be. He's struggled in 2013 at just 2-4 with a 4.62 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. The Padres are 12-5 in their last 17 contests and I think they get the job done with a favorable matchup. Take San Diego as our 5-unit Game of the Week.
