San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Padres are having a strong week and look like a team that’s ready to make that playoff push. Mize is an addition that hopes to help, as he had a 2.70 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with the Tigers and is fresh off a July week in which he allowed 7 earned runs in 21.2 innings. Bratt has just 20.2 innings under his belt this season, and he hasn’t been good in those frames. The Padres are showing up offensively and have a pitcher who is dealing and has a new lease on life. Give me the Padres.
