San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’ve said it before in previous write-ups: this Padres team has some magic to them and I’m not looking to step in front of them. They’re rolling. King has also been solid despite his walk issue, as he has a 2.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Nelson has a 6.97 ERA and 1.45 WHIP, and now he gets to pitch in the altitude of Mexico City. I’m sure he’s going to do just fine. I’ll gladly take the Padres and the cheap price.
