FYI, I heard that Volquez is just being pushed back to Sunday rather than scratched altogether, so you may still have him this week. Myers is a no-brainer - he's been great this year and the Padres' offense is weak, to put it nicely. Carpenter isn't quite a no-brainer but he's close. He's off to a bit of a rocky start and @Dodgers isn't a great matchup, but he's still an ace, and I'll doubt he'll get completely shelled like he did last time. He's a far better option than either Francis or Talbot, who I would steer clear of, unless you feel like rolling the dice that Francis keeps it up against the Mariners, but Pineda is on fire so don't expect a win.
