Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Padres have nothing to play for, as they’re locked into a playoff series with the Cubs. I wouldn’t be surprised if key players sit. Sears has also been awful since coming over from the Athletics, as he’s allowed 24 hits and 13 earned runs in his last 19 innings. However, the Diamondbacks have played depressed ball since getting bounced from the playoff race, and Pfaadt doesn’t inspire confidence with his 5.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. In 75.1 road innings, Pfaadt has a 7.29 ERA and .310 allowed batting average. Backups or not for the Padres, I’m siding with the home team.
