The Arizona Diamondbacks will play the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of their series at Petco Park on Tuesday night.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 65-69 this season and have won four of their last five games. Arizona won Game 1 of this series by a score of 5-0 on Monday. The Arizona pitching staff has a 4.17 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, and a .247 opponent batting average this season. The Diamondbacks offense has scored 595 runs with a .232 batting average and a .309 on base percentage. Christian Walker is batting .235 with 31 home runs and 77 RBI’s for the Diamondbacks this season. The projected starter for Arizona is Merrill Kelly, who is 12-5 with a 2.84 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 164.2 innings pitched this season.

The San Diego Padres are 74-62 this season and have lost three games in a row. Prior to losing Game 1 of this series, San Diego lost two out of three games against the Dodgers. The San Diego pitching staff has a 3.89 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a .237 opponent batting average. The Padres offense has scored 597 runs with a .241 batting average and a .319 on base percentage this year. Manny Machado is batting .302 with 26 home runs and 88 RBI’s for the Padres this season. The projected starter for San Diego is Joe Musgrove, who is 9-6 with a 3.01 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP over 149.1 innings pitched this season.

Arizona is 5-1 in their last 6 Tuesday games and 9-2 in their last 11 games. The over is 6-1 in Arizona’s last 7 Tuesday games. San Diego is 5-2 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 2-5 in their last 7 game two’s of a series. The under is 4-1 in San Diego’s last 5 Tuesday games. Arizona is 9-22 in their last 31 head to head meetings in San Diego.

San Diego comes into this game only two games up on the Brewers for the final wild card spot in the NL. San Diego needs to put forth a much better effort than they did on Monday if they want to keep their wild card spot. Joe Musgrove has allowed three or fewer earned runs in five straight starts for the Padres. Merrill Kelly has allowed seven runs over his last 27.1 innings pitched. I like the value that Arizona has in this game as Kelly has been very solid for them this year.
